As many others have stated your examples of making extra money are limited to Seattle.

Drop most of your trips, not happening if it drops you below 75. Also with reserve coverage constantly moving below the required amount that’s not an option for a majority of the group. Also the large amount of MOUs that limit swapping to the second Tuesday of December between 04:00-04:02

Pick up premium trips, once again limited to Seattle and then a few scattered through other bases. Not at the level of Seattle.

Some fly FAR max. Okay I get it, possible for everyone unless you have a family you enjoy spending time with.

Work vacation, this is the most practical and easiest way to make extra money. But also at the loss of some extra time off.

Pick up sims, Seattle 7373 only to my knowledge. I’m not sure if this even offered in SFO.

FCF, sims, and checks rides are limited to the 3% that are check airmen.

You have stated ways to make extra money but they are limited to Seattle based pilots. Maybe the next contract should include ways for the entire pilot group to have the same opportunities to make extra money.

Klsytakesit.....you slap on some new lipstick and change your name??

How do you empty all the bases with a bid for 20 CA’s, and 40 FO’s.... what does that even mean? You have a brilliant mind and a incredible attitude. I can’t believe you came up with this plan all on your own, you must have had help.

To drop use P to P... maybe things really are that different in other bases.

And other airlines too...

he’s referring to the fact that your sim idea only works in one base, so if the rest of the pilots want the option to scratch a few more pennies away from the company, everyone would have to be based in Seattle. Are you really that dim?

This is horse crap. This not achievable by the majority if any pilots at AS. The sad part is at the majors this achievable by the majority of pilots on the list. Friends of mine at B6 can bring in $40k a month and still get plenty of time off a month and my friends at spirit have work rules that allow them to earn a lot more on the W2 than any of us will see at AS. I know an FO at DL who on 2nd year pay earned more then a 11 year Capt at AS 101 hrs of credit at AS. They had 160 hours of credit. So time to wake up AS pilots and realize that your CBA is crap and the line bidding system is so badly broken its a joke. The work rules along with line bidding don't work and the crappy fatigue ( non contractual / unwritten ) rules forced on us. Really make for a crappy schedule and QOL for the majority of us. And if one of you says single day vacation trading will just prove my point.

You are wrong. More then 290 CA’s in SEA were above 350k last year

I know you're replying to that single post, but I think the over-all theme here is that that is not achievable in the other bases. Drop down below 75 via P2P and pick up premium?... Hard to do when half the lines are 15 days off or below and built to 85 hours.. other pilots simply don't have the availability or ability to pick up your trips you advertise, or simply don't want to pick up your 4 day that starts at 0500 and ends at 2330, or one of your numerous all-nighters to EWR/JFK/BWI/FLL, etc. And then to pick up premium.. some months as an FO I've seen little or no premium posted, or if it is posted its in the first 4 days of the month.

It is what it is, however I don't think anyone except a senior SEA pilot would say we are anywhere even close to being able to make the kind of money pilots at other airlines make. And even worse is that they make more money and have more days off - that is the big gripe.

good thing there is no income tax in WA!
