We, the L-VX guys are not here to rescue anybody. What we hope for is that we, along with the growing number of L-AS pilots who have realized and are LIVING the deficiency of our contract, will be energized enough to counteract those of you who have no interest nor desire to secure meaningful improvements to it.
The only time a pilot should have 11-14 days off is if you are blocking hours in the HIGH 90s - meaning you wanna work hard!
Any pilot blocking only 75 hours, you should be consistently getting 18 - 20 days Off!
This idea may sound foreign to you but it's not theory... it is the case at many airlines and was the case at VX. (RIP)
Wasting your energy, he clearly only cares about himself, thinks highly of himself and low of anyone else. Only his opinion on contracts, the industry, union leaders and Alaska management matter. Everyone one else is a puke, idiot, moron. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he only cares about his views and only his solutions are correct. Ignore his post, speak to your reps, worry about your Boeing and Airbus brothers and sisters that want something better. All we can do is stay engaged, united, and focus on 2020
