In view add since I am so JR I could not get a trip that fit my footprint So how do I take a 24 hour hit in a month… 3 six hour days at AVA = 27 hours close enough.
Let’s not forget about all the instructors that justify working extra. “ I have to be there to get you checked out or they will cancel your training” LET THEM CANCEL TRAINING And then they will hire more instructors and your gravy train will end also and we will go NOQ due to instructor shortage. A great domino effect.
Please quit casting nets
Holding carryover as a “very jr 75 capt”? Good work. You get that carryover on your very jr line?
I understand not getting anything that perfectly fits your days off. It happens. Many of us have to fly trips that overlay things we would rather be home for. How about doing MU when OT opens? Instead you are waiting around for AVA? I think that is the difference most see. Just sayin
As for instructors I would agree that dichotomy doesn’t pass mustard. So now you see the discontent many have with the numerous “situations” and excuses people make to enrich themselves. All at the cost of those not making excuses.
Look at it this way. When does AVA/vbb/drft get offered? You do you. Just then be ok with 3+ year negotiations and COLA’s
