I have also turned down the ability to make extra money to go fly in China. Remember the company just put out an FCIF asking all pilots if they want to get a China visa to go fly in China. I said NO. I also talked about disputed pairings. I’m very comfortable that I am on the side who is holding the line. You claimed a union rep was getting draft to fly trips the union asked us not to do. I asked you to send me who you were accusing but you failed to do that. It’s unsatisfactory to accuse anyone, union rep or not, of something nefarious but fail to prove it. The union never said “don’t fly to China”. They said analyze your fatigue state with day room pairings and Saigon loop pairing. That’s not a wholistic statement about China but about specific pairings. My final point was it could be a lot worse. Ask your buds at the pax airlines. These are all separate points that all cohesively are true.
