You guys are wearing me out. ACD is settled. There is no use debating it anymore. We can comeback and complain about 5 day trips and lack of high time day trips in a year or two. I’ll start...... This is fAAtiguing..... Worst schedules I’ve ever seen at AA..... How can we let them get away with this...... I’m applying to DL, UA, SW..... informational picketing now...... let’s take out an ad in USA Today...... am I missing anything?
Can’t wait to see him griping about something he negotiated entirely on his own. Sure. It’s someone else’s fault.... I’m sure that 20k expense he attempted to get reimbursed for his spousal unit was someone else’s fault as well. |

I’m way jr to you and 8-12 days working per month is pretty avg. heck, last NOV and DEC I flew 4. If you are flying 18 days on reserve, you are getting hosed and should definitely bid a line that will pay you more.
I get it, you want your cake and eat it too. You aren’t senior enough to hold weekends off on the award, so you bid reserve. I don’t have a problem with that. You do get stuck with all the slash trips on reserve because people trade out of them. I personally like them if I’m on reserve. It’s nice sitting and getting paid while on a nice layover. In my time here I have broken guarantee on reserve once, maybe twice. Reserves on our fleet just really aren’t used that much and I think you know that. Look, if you want 5:15ACD so you can bid weekends off, that’s cool. But just know that you will be senior someday and you will be working 16 days for 84hrs. I thought a pilots dream was to always be as productive as possible and get 18-21 days off. I know that’s my goal, maybe it’s not yours. It’s no use arguing anymore. 5:15 ACD is already a done deal. We are waisting our breath. Can’t wait to fly those 5 day trips for 5:15 per day!! |
Ahhhhhh....
The old "You'll be senior some day" bit... Actually, a lot of folks won't be - ever. If that was even a good reason. Decades of crap for a couple years' goodies is not a good trade. |

Out of curiosity, how come something as important as a 2 year contract extension in the current market doesn’t go to a vote?

It’s not even on C&R, so it’s obviously not even close to being a good rumor. Sheesh.
Now what’s a red-eye and since when are we doing 7 day trips with embedded 30 hour rest? [emoji854] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Heck ACD even helps out a bunch of widebody trips!

To be honest, no one has provided proof this was more than just a rumor. (unless I completely missed it)
An organization has to consider all possible options and the value of a contract extension has to be evaluated. |

It was mentioned as a concept so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s been discussed internally.
