With LCW's being just shy of 91hrs (90:55 to be exact), I looked at the PBS awards and a sizable chunk of pilots (@25%) were getting 88 plus hour lines. 30%. Next year that becomes 90hrs and above with minimal ability to trade down or drop coupled with anemic sick accrual means this TA is a NO for me.
I know you hate the fact that your Yes vote is now canceled out.
And you’re leaving out the fact that 79 hour bottom of the LCW window would only apply to 4 months a year, and the rest of the year that maximum will be 75, which is an improvement from what the company can do all year long currently (77). And no, summer isn’t our only busy months.
Btw I have zero problems with your no vote. You won’t find anywhere where I try to convince someone to vote one way or another. I just don’t like falsehoods. Like when you say that Eagle pilots have priory in OUR jumpseat. Or that our jumpseat reservation system doesn’t work.
