There must be vast differences between the Boeing and the Bus.....I’m top 3rd in the bus in LAX and it’s RARE that I get anything above 80 hours.
And even if I do? I trigger some BS illegality that requires me to fix it. And again, I can’t speak for the Boeing....but the open time we get in LAX is less than desirable.
That said, I’ve had it happen multiple times where I wasn’t able to correct my illegalities in either step. So now you have to beg and plead with the nice scheduling lady to not make it hurt too much. She does her best to accommodate you but sometimes it doesn’t work.
Factor in a transcon commute? And it’s a crap sammich with a diarrhea reduction (work rules).
I’m praying that this all gets resolved in 2020. This place really has the potential to be an awesome airline. But as long as mgmt keeps trying to divide us....it’s gonna be a long road to recovery.
