Im not saying this is the same thing, but…

Is flying a GS with pilots on furlough “in the contract”? Yes it is. Is it “frowned upon” (by many more pilots than OOBWS is)? Yes it is.

All I’m saying is there is a line some folks won’t cross, and others will. Where that line is will vary from issue to issue, pilot to pilot, and time to time. I’m not here to police anyone, only to make my case for why I don’t personally like pilots bidding a category they have zero intention to fly in. We don’t have V-files anymore, so leaving dollar bills with “special” messages on them isn’t a thing anymore (thankfully). And harassing phone calls should be ignored/reported to Pro Stans.

Again, I don’t begrudge anyone the occasional good deal. On this, or any other topic, I would rather convince you than compel you with shady/bully tactics (which are, in my best Monty Python voice, right out!). JMO.
