It’s everyone’s right to use the contract to their benefit. That’s just how it is and I don’t contest that. Seniority is earned, and comes with privilege. Period. The end.
There isn’t enough to go around right now and it will affect some, regardless of what anyone does. It’s just gross when someone rubs it in your face and brags about all of the money they’re making. With reduced flying, if you’re taking more than you need, who are you really screwing?
What base and seat are you in? This is the complete opposite of what I have seen. Very little OT to pick up in general and most aren't willing to commute in for it.
