In the past 24hrs, I’ve lost out on waiting for a few trips to go from 50% to 100% and then when I said, **** It.. I’ll just take the next one at 50%, it got picked up at straight pay!
LOL
It’s a game. I get it. When people complain about someone else grabbing a trip I got to wonder why?
We are hiring, don’t have anyone furloughed (involuntary) and haven’t hit that point where we need to “make a point”
It is what it is~
Oh, and last month I WAS lucky and got a few good deals. It’s all cyclic.

(At least the contract provides candy bars in Ops. Glad we spent time negotiating that item).
That is a good point and we would have to think as a group what we’re willing to give up for that. The company “likes” having the option to go from 0 to 50% and then 100% (if needed). Again, it’s an individual choice but I will say- If we had the Delta model of 100% or nothing, it would probably lower the pool of pilots getting the add pay while having a (slight) increase in labor cost.
I don’t mind the system we have currently.. except for the AMC/Military Charter pickup system. Think it’s asinine
