The company is trying to save money on payroll, in violation of the CBA.



The company has been in violation of this for years. It’s not fair that lineholders that should be getting days off are stuck working coverage trips instead of being with their families. The company is making NO effort to correct this and should be forced to pay a heavy price for this willfull violation.


If they can continue to profit by running thin and treating their employees like slaves, and dodging any punishment/minimizing any grievance pay, they will continue to do exactly what they’re doing.


Every single pilot at this company is affected by this and every single one of you should be emailing the union about this.
The vacancy bid has always amazed me when it comes out and I see like 2 or 3 sometimes zero SEA FO positions available. I think how is this possible when as an FO in SEA I have never been able to drop a single trip in a year and a half. Oh well, obviously the company knows more than I do when they decide to do certain things that make no sense to everyone else besides them.
