Well, I stand corrected. Thanks for the info. I was just taking a page from the delta forums, since…they’re still recommending pilots don’t pick up overtime during contract negotiations.
I’ll publicly state that “I’m wrong, if you want to pick up overtime you absolutely should.”
I will point out that it looks like at least half of the Delta 49 were ALPA reps so I’m sure that was more of a grudge with ALPA than the individual employees, but nonetheless I can see the point. It’s just ****ty that even voluntary pickup of work isn’t available to get the company’s head out of its own butt and make some moves to be industry leading. But whatever, I capitulate. If the airline collapses it is what it is. Seen this before though. Feel bad for the folks sticking around if it happens.
