And you say that is fine for someone with 12+ years, but what about those more junior??? Do you not understand that my 12+ years INCLUDES year 1-2-3-4-5-etc??? I was junior once as well, we all were!
You're drunk on a keg of lies, filled with fantasy and illusion. You've had it explained by me. A very intelligent Delta pilot also chimed in. There is a simple basic fact you just aren't getting. The proportion of ANY given airlines pilots who work holidays and weekends is exactly the same, and is determined by how much of the airlines schedule is flown on those given days. You can't overcome gravity. Those flights ARE covered. A CBA can marginally shift a small percentage of those flights to more junior reserves, but that's it. The same proportion of pilots get forced to work those critical staffing days.
