Not to point fingers, but I'm always curious as to the situation one is in where they don't go for premium...I'm assuming you are not a local on a narrow body fleet, is that correct? My point being that those who hate on the pilots picking up premium usually have a reason why they are unable to and because of that, come off altruistic in why they don't pick it up.

We don't have leverage because the majority of our pilots are mission hackers and circumvent the contract or just plain ignorant to the contract.

I agree with those who believe our holiday/100% premium LOA language was garbage.
I’m in favor of an ALPA merger, if only under the logic that it couldn’t be any worse than APA.

Parking widebodies as a result of a worldwide economic collapse, maybe, but I don’t see things getting that bad… and if they do, DAL and UAL are gonna be right behind AAL.

Too many mission hackers out there willing to work at 50% premium so why should they offer more?
