Thanks guys. I’ll read up on it on the APA site, but it doesn’t sound like anything I’d be interested in.

 

Take an honest look at it... if it works for you, great! It definitely does for some.

 

You used to be able to see what everyone's IMAX is. The most recent month I see it for is Aug 18. In my bid status there were 226 awards that month. None had an IMAX below 79. A handful had an IMAX below 100. It's a small selection and just one data point but it appears very few people take advantage of IMAX. It seemed like guys were able to IMAX out for the fall months and unfortunately I can't see the IMAX numbers for those months.

 

Does anyone know when the final results come out?

 

Is there ever a change between the prelim and final?

 

In a way, yes: then we can find out when we are transferring.

 

Did you get ord?

 

So people who use the their resources in the contract have no life and are bad union members? Bullish!t. I averaged about 80 hours hard flying time each month and got 9 weeks off with pay. Yes, when I was sick, I used that sick call to bump my PROJ. When a trip turned green, I dropped it with PVDs to run my credit up.

People who talk crap about IMAX are generally ones who are too lazy to learn it. They want the union to spoon feed them.

The company is never going to allow FAR MAX each month. They aren’t going to let you time out. IMAX let’s you “time out” AND get paid for it. Let me say that again. You get PAID. No other airline has that.

Also, if you mention Premium in the same sentence as IMAX, you’ve just shown you have no idea. Those that are trying to build credit to get IMAXed will turn down Premium because it doesn’t help them. It’s only helpful during those months they are limited because it goes above your IMAX guarantee.

 

A few things can change between the prelim and final bids. There could be errors on the prelims. A lot of it is still done by hand (shocking, I know).

 

Whatever chump. If you like IMAX, fine. Lots of guys I know "talk crap about it" but aren't lazy in any regard. Money isnt everything to alot of people. I can see it's your precious little baby, how dare anyone make comments about it. And wanting the union to spoon feed them? Dumb.
