Well gosh Ollie, thanks for the advice. You too, seem to have a reading comprehension problem. I neither support nor dismiss the item of hotels for short calls. I do have a problem with taking a suggestion, misrepresenting the item in it's totality, and then advocating for or against said recharacterization of said item. Capisce?

If we are going to discuss the merits(or lack thereof) of a proposal, let's at least be intellectually honest and not distort the proposal

I never bid reserve therefore, I don't really give a crap about reserve improvements, but I am willing to pursue said improvements if it helps a majority of pilots.....

I can think of a logical reason to be against almost any improvement if one only views that improvement though their eyes

ex...Increase pay rates across the board?...."Nahh, not for that. I'm going through a divorce and don't want my child support(alimony) to be predicated on a higher W2.

ex...Better health care coverage?...."Nahh, not for that. I got my Tricare(wife's insurance etc)

It just seems like every time someone proposes an " improvement" pilots are quick to shoot it down based on how it personally affects them.....

We would have never gotten rid of B scale if all pilots were so myopic as to say, " Doesn't affect me, I already paid my dues on that one". Sometimes we need to push for improvements regardless of personal gain, and support it because it's the right thing to do

Just my opinion, you are welcome to yours
