The point behind my tongue in cheek remark is that, as pilots, I don’t think we’ll ever be happy. We could get paid infinite amounts of money and have every day off that we could ever want and we’d still complain about something.
The committee worked hard, got us a few good things, and gave up a few good things. I think that the extra money as captain would make me feel a bit better when getting extended or juniored. But that’s just me. I think it’s also important to realize that staffing is most definitely an issue now, but the training department IS catching up, AND we’re only slated for what, 57 planes total? Our hiring is slowly catching up to our orders which (at least in theory), would reduce the number of JMs.
Idk, I’m an idiot and don’t think gud sometimes. So take that for what it’s worth.
The joke went right over my head, yet you shot right back reversing your wrong. Hmmmm.
So you want to open up a big old loophole in the contract because it
maybe won't be an issue when/if we stop taking jets? Don't think of these contract issues only in the light of how they affect just yourself. The repercussions of this vote will affect everyone who comes here until a new one is put in place.
Ever wonder why our contract is so bad? It's has so many holes it makes swiss cheese look solid.
Because people ignored loopholes thinking the company wouldn't take advantage of them when times got tough. Time's will get tough, probably tougher than now. And they will have you flying an extra turn at the end of every single four day if it's what it takes to avoid cancelling flights.
