Absolutley. I said that in one of my earlier posts. I only concern myself with what I do not with what others do. I know the reality. If I was on the street I would spend my time looking for another job. Not worrying about whether Joe Blow picked up an out and back last Friday. I can see in some situations not picking up open time might bring some back but not here, at least not right now anyway. there isn't much open time out there to begin with and this airline is more the adequatley staffed to cover the flying. In fact, there is less open time now than there was before the furloughs. So, in a way, we are all picking it up in every trip. My whole point was more about it being wrong to judge others based on what they do when you know nothing of their situations, and less about whether picking up open time is right or wrong. I rarely ever pick anything up and could care less whether people do or not. The MEC sent an email out a while back asking us to ask our fellow crew member how they were assigned the trip if it is someone other than you normally fly with. Most of us know why we were asked to do this. If the Captain says he picked it up in open time, feel free at that time to express your displeasure with his decision to do so. I know a few senior captains here that love being told what dirt bags they are for picking up open time from a 1st year FO who was flying a 152 6 months ago.
