I clearly stated that pilots needed to educate each other on the matter so that doing more with less discontinues asap. Of all people, someone in your shoes should support that notion, or would you prefer for no new jobs to be created at the major level?
I see, becuase you are at a "REAL" airline you know all there is to know about UNIONS/Labor law, how the hell can a regional F/O who happens to be a Rep teach you anything. Seems like you need to be educated becuase you can't have a grassroots campaign to stop picking up open time. Do I think its a great idea???? yeah I do. I am on your side believe me, I'm just beyond tired of Labor not having any authority to do anything, such as not picking up open time. As far as the uniform, I agree you can't get respect if you look like a slob but unfortunately that won't do a thing.
Something as small as your "suggestion" to not pick up open time, on this website could be used by some scum lawyer, you know that as well as I, thats all I was saying
