As this thread continues, it's black-n-white. What is there to debate?? If you have people on furlough (as CAL does) and you 'opt' to fly outside of your award (increase/padding your month block using OT), your screwing those who are out on the street.
AGAIN, the OT trip "YOU" pick up to pay for your "3rd toy", is the trip that could be covered by the furloughed guy who is scraping up enough cash to keep his kids in clothes. Put as much makeup as you want on your bottomless defense to say otherwise, in the end, your excuse for your actions in the above mentioned case does not hold water...Period.
On a lighter note AA, have you finished IOE yet on the new ride?? Hope all is well in the new "NG" world!!

Greetings SC,
Jut finished IOE, and off to work tomorrow. Over a month out of the cockpit and I get a little irritable.. Fun airplane. I miss the 757/767, however I am diggin my seniority on this bird. There is a lot to say about QOL.
It is funny a few guys have asked me, why I down bid, and how can I afford the paycut. Well it only $400 a month difference, and as in the example above, my wife and I live well below our means.
Hope you are well, looking forward to maybe seeing you on the jumpseat.
Cheers,
AA
