There is pressure here and there. We do not know where that is. It might be MEM departures on one day and total pilots in CDG another. It could be number of pilots turning IND or OAK, it could be 777 CLOE instructors or 767 training instructors, we don't know what the issues are day to day. IF you fly your line then the pressure will show up where it needs to show up, when it needs to show up and we all know the system cannot be flown without a significant portion of the pilots doing extra. All we are asking is to be compensated for our sacrifice and efforts. Just do your job. If you are rationalizing what you are doing then you already know your buddies would say you are wrong. Wear your negotiation lanyard and stop talking to those that cannot be bothered to show they support the other pilots by wearing theirs. Feel free to fight amongst ourselves on whether or not the negotiating team will get us what we want, but your public face and flying schedule needs to be full support.
sorry. If I’m gonna pick up 30 hour trip to complete my line due to conflict. I’m doing it at 150. Preferably 20 hours at 150. Every single trip in opentime, can go at 150. No need to be a sucker and fly it at straight time.
