This is based off of conversations I’ve had with some fellow pilots in the Van.
Fire away.
Fire away.
Disagree.
How many pilots are really cutting side deals? Obviously one pilot is one too many but is it really that many? And don't get me wrong, I am strongly against any kind of 'deal-making' by pilots.
Again, how many pilots are really getting paid for 23.M.7 violations? I'll give you one data point: I'm still waiting for a payment by the Co. from a violation that is a year? running (honestly I've given up on it). I mean, if that's even remotely close to how it's going for other pilots then I can't imagine a lot of people are hanging their hopes on more 23.M.7 pay.
MY problem is the way ALPA settled this grievance. I also really can't understand how some of you are so blaise about the loss of batch sizes? Sorry I don't enjoy being woken up at 3am for a GS that reports at 15:00 as #20 with zero chance of getting it.
'Bro, just put your phone on silent, quiet hours, etc.' Alternatively, why do I have to possibly miss a GS I could have gotten just because they can't effectively manage callouts? But I guess it's a moo point now. I'll just have to try not to confuse Auto-Accept and Auto-Acknowledge.
