And yes, you need 2 ridiculously high months to make it work. But a $25k to $30k month every now and then as an FO is nice. Buy your wife a gift with the money or take your family on vacation during your 2 months off...I’m sure they’ll understand. Or don’t.

I wish Do Not Pair lists were public.

Threads like these make me cringe.

Let me add that I’m not trying to offend anyone. Seriously, PM me* and I’ll teach you everything I know about IMAX. My angst is directed at those who want to eliminate it because they aren’t smart on it. They throw spears because they see others reaping the benefits.

*Unless you’re Sliceback.

Thanks for the previous post... I really think the IMAX proponents need to help folks see the light a bit more clearly. I read it over and over again on here and CnR about how people need to educate themselves or get talked down to, etc, without any elaboration. The fact is, there ARE tricks to the game that many do not see, even after reading the contract and IMAX guide. I don’t know if some think they will let the cat out of the bag or what, but I’m reasonablly certain that the company knows EXACTLY how all this is happening.

We need to help each other out folks... if IMAX is truly the greatest thing (and I’m still not entirely convinced), then HELP OTHERS SEE THE LIGHT. If it’s not the best thing, let’s find that thing that is better...

And for you petty childish idiots out there (you know who you are) grow the F up. Whatever your problem is, you certainly aren’t helping anyone here by being a belligerent a$$. If you are typing away at a post, ask yourself if you are actually helping, hurting the group, or selfishly trying to pump up your own ego.

Everyone else, just ignore these idiots and hopefully they go away. For once, how about we all work together and make this forum a valuable place. Crazy concept.

I’m all for people being able to work the system and make some extra money.
I do have a problem with having to forgo vacation or use sick time to do it.
Holidays should pay more.
We shouldn’t have a system that separates reserves from line holders. Reserves should be able to pick up on days off. Not just get leftovers.
Of course each reserve day needs to have a credit. We shouldn’t work for free.
8 hours of flying for a line holder should pay 8 hours. Same for reserves.
Vacation day should pay the same as a training pay or a sick day.
Sick no charge shouldn’t be charged more that the average day pay. (Funny how they always find 8 hour days to charge your sick bank)....

Equality for all pilots.
Same contract for line holders and for reserves.
IMAX should benefit everyone.

I 100% agree with every one of those things. None of those have anything to do with IMAX. Separate them. We shouldn’t have to give up anything to get all those during this Section 6.

Okkkkkk. August bid next? I noticed quite a difference on the forecasts from June to August on some equipment.

Oh.....and iMax sucks! Lol

Photon1....it’s ‘a lot’ not “alot.” And apostrophes are fun too, if you know there proper usage.

Cue the ‘I don’t care’ or the ‘grammar Nazi’ rants. Hopefully, you never have to write anything that needs to be taken seriously.

"their"

You brought it on yourself...just sayin'.

Oh and "smart quotes" by Apple are stupid.
