That may be so.. I posted up a poll when the message first came out but was on a trip and did not start looking at the open time until saturday. There was a solid 2 days where people COULD have picked up before I started to look at the daily balances.

I must admit with 15-18 days off and only an 80 hour line I contemplated picking some up but with the thought of "helping the company" at the moment its a no-go. If we had a real contract or if we were at least treated like human beings I could really help the paycheck. The sad part is that the 150%- $32.50 or so I would make an hour is still far less than the going rate of 2nd year FO's. I choose to spend more time at the gym and with the woman.

Plus there is rain all over the place- I may melt....
