I saw this 2 day come through open time in my base that was a STC and Pb4R so it paid well with little work.
I watched it and waited to bid premium at the last moment. Due to my senority now if i bid something premium early the jr guys will bid it straight since they know they won't get it. C'est la vie
shockingly no one was bidding it.
I go and check out the cpt.
CkP with maxed out sick time. I see rarely does anyone fly their line with him. Most trips have several FOs and not for training.
anywho... I decided not to bid it.
Goes to reserve, that guy calls out beofre trip starts, goes to online reroute.
The 2 day premium for me would have been 20 tfp.
After all the mess the mess it cost the company close to 50 because of all the people that had to be rerouted to get someone to fly with this guy.
no wx, no delays, just new FOs every day.
Surprise it was a ckp out of BNA who lives in BWI.
I guess the point is the company talks about saving money yet every time this guy flies it cost over triple time to get an FO to fly with him.

I wish the Union would stop protecting these guys and let the company fire them. They make everyone's life a living hell, How can one person wield so much havoc. I've been the victim of said captains many times. Screws up my overnight when I get pulled to fly with these tools. They know what they are doing and some even enjoy it. Called pro standards once and all I got was "he is probably having a bad day, problems at home". "I knew him in the unit and he was a good ****". I said, well, he's an ******* in this unit and tell him to leave his problems at home like the rest of us.
