I’m sure that the pilots picking up these last minute incentivized trips were truly “rested”. We are lucky that nothing happened. They are promoting a truly unsafe and unsustainable practice. Who signs the release saying that you are fit for duty? The FAA won’t blame the company, they’ll look at the Pilots, and if they didn’t show up with proper rest they’ll assume the blame which opens you up for legal liability. These guys are using the one thing they understand to keep this operation going, GREED!. They do this by shelling out tens of thousands of dollars to cover an understaffed and poorly structured schedule. 60 hrs to cover a trip is a last gasp of desperation. These are the same people who are stealing $78 out of their employees pockets every month because they had more than one child. Some of these trips are paying a whole year of somebody’s $78. Isn’t this obvious to everyone!? What it shows is that we are truly way under paid and getting close to winning. People will go out of their way and work hard for well compensated trips. But take away that incentive and no one would want to bust their arse to show up on their days off. The “greed” spigot gets turned down Jun 29 because of LOA 65. Look at the facts here. These penny pinching, greedy SOBs are throwing money at us to fix their mess of an operation. It’s only the beginning of summer. I sure hope they’re ready to throw a whole bunch more. Times running out.
100% READY TO STRIKE.......tic...toc...tic...toc...
Fiddling while Rome burns? Or wily like a coyote? ... I think the latter. I sense no desperation on their part; we are weak and ineffectual and they know it. They will exploit us for exactly as long as we let them. Period.
