No. I realized I wasn't clear. I've flown 8 trips in a month a few times, but that typically involves a maybe 4 or 5 slash trips, maybe 1 or 2 two-day trips to the islands, and a couple of JFK two-days. 20 days for me is not uncommon. Admittedly, it burns me out.

That's why I switched back to LCR. I screwed up a PBS bid, by allowing double up red eyes...and I got all red eyes that month with 10 days off. If I would have NOT allowed double ups, PBS would have been forced to give me less red eyes to get me into the window.

Same here. I'm averaging around 11 days of work in this high season. Last month they called me twice for OG flying. I declined but that would've made it 13 days of work for ~93 hours of pay. No way will I bid a line at this company until I get super senior.

Could I completely avoid redeyes at 55% in CLT if I'm willing to work weekends?

I would say, yes most likely, depending on what other constraints you put in PBS (i.e. Commutability). Have you looked at the PBS reports? That will tell you everything.

You literally never know with coverage days. You can bid to avoid the redeyes, but if a redeye allows you to work more coverage days, that takes priority over everything. Good luck!

Thank our union. Reason #673726848 we need new leadership

Again, not complaining. My aug line is worth 83 and change. With min calendar: 97. We need it now! I saw a CLT blast that said the company is interested in negotiating pay/work rules. Has anyone heard from a rep that calendar day is coming?

I'd be very surprised if we see that. I Think the raise was a ploy to keep folks pacified until 2020.

Maybe so. I'd say 60/40 APA gets something worked out.

I think if we don't get it it will be because APA overreached and the company backs out. Just like they did in the JCBA negotiations when they were close to a long rate rig if you were around for that.
