Everything Rooco said is spot on except sick is 71.5 hours a year if that matters.

I would add two things to his post:

1. There is no better union on this planet than the IPA.

2. My fellow brothers and sisters within the IPA are the best bunch of guys and gals to work with. I think as a whole 99.2% of our membership has abstained from picking up open-time, accepted junior assigned trips, or enhanced their line credit more than five hours. This is going on one year now, you show me another group that is willing to do that for their most junior?
