So, you've made the assertion that "new guys are picking up extra" whatever that means. Care to provide some context or clarity or evidence?
I didn't challenge your assertion, I posted my opinion. But FX guys have been undermining the negotiation efforts since day one. In Osaka at the Swisshotel two pilots thought they could ease their conscience by breaking hotel rules and leaving the hotel to buy gyoza from 101, gyoza place, because they had a 400 credit hr month. I flew with guys who thought working extra before the contract expired in the summer before the November expiration date was ok when the union was in negotiations. The seniority list has changed for a younger group but I see nothing of that group working less, and helping the collective group. This pilot group can't keep blaming the senior guys when its the majority, younger group, keeps working all the extra flying. And Ill add this, off 5,800 pilots or so, only about 20 whine on this site. Its a public forum with ahole opinions on boths sides.
