So we are SERIOUSLY short of pilots, especially FOs. BK even did a test flight in Houston today.

So.....

NOW IS THE TIME to push for all we can get. I was on my eighth day of nine (due to carry over from last month and new month line) and have gotten TWO calls to pick up open time in the last FIVE HOURS. This after picking up a turn while demanding and getting double draft pay!

IF you choose to pick up open time, DEMAND double draft pay PLUS the 150% and anything else you can think of (extra day off, dropping a trip, or whatever you would want).

We got 'em by the short hairs!!! Now is the time to pull it 'till it HURTS!
