So if that route/pairing is being assigned out to another base in the monthly schedule, they still have p/u rights at 1100 and the original in base pilots can't p/u until 1300. Right?
Of the 12 flights on my BES trade board right now, 2 are flying spots. Today is a good day, it's usually 2 out of 20.
My base has routes being flown by out of base pilots. Oh but our base still gets to fill the IRO seat, happy day! If a base is short staffed, start with scheduling the IRO seat from out of base, with add pay, and work up from there.
Don't take our base's flying away from us and then penalize us for being NQ on landings...
