As a point of reference here, when DALs pairings went into a similar toilet as ours they quickly picketed, and I believe they got some relief. We were voting to sell scope for peanuts at the same time.

DAL, the highest compensated airline pilots in the industry just voted 99% to strike. Us? We gave the company a pass on all the garbage in our contract and are most likely begging for a sub inflation pay raise - that will certainly pass.

The difference between our pilot groups comes down to unity, self worth and a spine. We lack all three.

As for picking up VDA, while true if we stopped picking up open time we would certainly see a better contact quicker, I think since this group seems to relish working for less, picking up as much premium as possible is a valid way to insulate yourself from the economic damage caused that 65% of the group.
