To be fair, the “lifting” here is just staying a line pilot and not taking a job that is worse for 75% of people. I appreciate there are good CKA like you around, but so does the company. It’s leverage and taking that job now is putting yourself above the collective mission. Asking you to resign is insane though

I agree, but I don't think it's worse for 75% of the ones taking it. And, as I said above, many have been in the pipeline for a while, long before perceived leverage came about. I hate to see them denigrated.
I don't think there is as much leverage as some do. We'll see. The 1/22 pay buckets will be out soon and it may push more to quit. Many don't understand how the SLI G4 dispute changed things.

I have around 2k hours as an LCA at a previous airline. We got a 25% override and bid our schedules the same way every other line pilot did. But yea, maybe you’re right. Thanks for the sage advice. 😏

It's 5:21 per duty period not calendar day. Makes a big difference on lots of trips.

resigning a check airman position to return to line flying, is totally different than quitting your entire job. Why would you even think they are the same?

I don't, I'm just looking for the ultimate leverage...by someone else.
How about someone downbidding? That's what I'd be doing by returning to the line. For many it wouldn't be, but they stay for a reason.

Ok… you got paid more money than your peers. Must not have been that great a gig if you left. Did you actually like to teach or was a financial win tor you?

Also a LCA at my previous airline. With a 40% override and flying the schedule your seniority can hold, it was a good deal. The idea of doing it because you really enjoy teaching is a joke and just makes you a pawn for the company. There will always be the lean forward types who the company is more then willing to take advantage of though.
