Empty line you work when you want to work. How much more flexibility do you want?

I have said for my entire career that if I could work 50 hours and take the rest of the month off I would in a second. When I say this most other pilots agree. Well here is their chance. I have read on this board many times people wish we had unlimited ability to drop to 50 hours....well here you go.

*****ing and moaning that you can’t stay home and get paid to do nothing helps nobody. Either take it or don’t because I think these deals provide a lot of flexibility unless you are in need of your paycheck. A lot of people got forced into commuting AND onto reserve....why not say screw that and go do something else while United is your part time job?

wnjoy flying your line or sitting reserve.
