I'm with you. I've been TDY'd system wide here. I now enjoy being senior enough to have 11 days off (split of course), and mix of mornings, nights, reserve, etc. I'm hoping our union leaders are focused on schedules, then, days off, then schedules, then more days off, and finally; better schedules. The pay falls quite a long distance down my list of priorities. I hear a lot of guys just talking about the Big Boys (AA, Delta, SWA, United, etc) pay. Well, I'd rather match their schedule rules as opposed to letting MG just write us a bigger paycheck, and still screw our quality of life!

I have been involuntarily tdy'd for MANY months. I can assure you that I was tdy'd on the months I have vacation. You are thinking of voluntary tdy, if you have vacation they will not take your request to be tdy'd. They have no problem forcing you into tdy on a vacation month. And they still do a great job making you work the day before and after your vacation when on tdy. 
Maybe they finally figured that out, who knows.

The TDY is avoided if you have vacation bid since around a year ago when a LAS captain bid FLL TDY and had two weeks of vacation in the middle of it. Then, like always, there was a rule change behind closed doors not to make that mistake again.
Mind you it wasn't the LAS captain's fault, it was the fault of a company with zero reserves or backup plans.

APC says DOH for junior captain is Dec 2014. Is it normal for the company to direct hire captains? With what qualifications? What the normal expectation for upgrade?

my crew pay sheet was only off by -9.81 hours this month, much better than the near -20 last month. I feel like I should get an override for doing their job too. Last month it took two weeks to get my missing pay. That will not happen again this month. So f-ing irritating!!!

I'm starting to wonder if a contract is really going to happen this year.

NOTHING about the current working conditions here is tolerable or acceptable long-term. Also, management will NEVER agree to a contract unless they are forced to do so by either the threat or an actual job action. Combine those two, and it can be seen that something HAS to happen this year or it will be sayonara for this pilot group.
