That was early on, and you’re right, people flying into US hotspots deserve that too. I think we had leverage early on, but have lost it with the slower spread of Covid in China.

Pilots did stand up in regards to Covid testing in China (at least for a short time). I haven’t been to China in some time and have no plans on going back until this situation gets resolved.

I don’t have any plans on working more even though the moneys there. But, I have only flown trips at AVA this month. I’ll keep this going until it stops. I have no idea why so many people are working for straight time when AVA is available, but it’s their choice.

Again, I don’t care if people are begging to stay out just because they want the money. Most of these trips are sitting in open time, so they’re available to anyone that wants them.

Attitudes like yours are why we won't and don't get improvements. They company needs us and our leadership and people like you are doing nothing to make any gains for the pilots. I'll say it again, good luck in 2021 when the contract comes up for negotiation. The company will stall for 3 yrs or more. And I'll be gone. But you will get what you get. 3% raise and no A plan fix, maybe a slight B plan increase. Enjoy.
