So, if the company staffs up properly, it'll create more seats in higher paying cats, like capt and WB fo. Additionally, it won't force the LPA up so high. I haven't seen a PBS award less than 85 hrs in a year. Last month, 90 freakin hours. And I can't just fly 70 hours if i want to, that would mean we'd have reserve coverage allowing me to drop. I've seen the pool display negative before the 24th even hits so how we doing there. If you saw my w2 for the last 2 years, you'd know I'm not the squirrel type. My ideal world would be a 70hr 18 day off pbs award of which we could drop and trade. Go up to 90 if you want, but don't award me 90 from the get go with "no coverage" available to do a thing about it.
You didn't understand my response.
One of the problems with context of a post on APC. If I understood you correctly, in one breath you said I'm banking a whole bunch of nuts (money). Then in the next breath you said I wish they would go back to staffing the airline. I bid for min time the highest "MIN" value in my base for as long as I can remember was 75 hrs. So I don't have to pick up high time line and its a high time base (IAH737) My only point was you DONT have to pick up PP time. You are CHOOSING to do so!
I don't have ANY issue with you doing that! If fact some times I may even try it myself! Enjoy it, do what you want just don't complain about staffing since it sounds a little hypocritical after drinking from the fountain.
