Because it’s CPA flying and not at risk flying. And other eagle companies didn’t purchase the CPA.

calling out sick prevents you from non reving on that day?

Yep, until you call in well.

Can someone clarify how the caveat with SIN works? If I have three days of LC reserve on Monday-Wednesday and I call out SIN, get a trip, and call in well prior to 10am Tuesday I’m not charged sick? Or does that only apply if I call in SIN on my day off (Sunday) before they assign all the open time trips in DOTC and call in well Monday before 10am?

That loophole is closed with the TA if ratified. If you call SIN and get a trip, one day of sick min will be charged.

But for now it’s the former.

Envoy pilots should have priority on Envoy acft. An Envoy pilot should not have priority on a PSA or PDT acft. Complete nonsense.

This would force them to create more line holders and get rid of the ridiculous 35% reserve level that you see in some bid statuses. Anyone else who wants to fly more than 84 hours can just pick up in DOTC.

This is my number one issue with the current contract, and somehow APA managed to make it worse. Unbelievable.
He has gotten this wrong before and then disappeared when I asked him how the company assigns 90+ hour lines.

I agree that this is a huge issue.

We had a nice opportunity to lower the LCW during covid. Why was the union so against doing it when it was seemingly a perfect solution at many other shops? Hint: Starts with an I and ends with MAX.

I agree. Everything they do at this union is to protect the 3 to 5 % of pilots who attempt to imax. We all work more because of it. Many on the scheduling committee love imax, so they are giving input to the Negotiating Committee to protect a small % of pilots. Our scheduling committee thinks they are the smartest people in the world, yet we are the airline that now has the worst rig. We now get split duty trips, that’s our reward. Our scheduling committee has to be some of the dumbest people in our union. They want higher credit lines, less credit for vacation, and split duty trips. We somehow gained ACD 5 years ago, but are now going to allow a rig carve out to make it more efficient for the optimizer.

How many line are 90+ hours? We’re in the thick of summer are we not? We should all be working our butts off right now should we not? I looked at the July awards for DFW narrow body in both seats, and here are the average line credits for July.

A320 CA - 81:45

A320 FO - 83:16

737 CA - 82:24

737 FO - 82:20

Again we’re in the thick of summer and that’s the average line credit our NB pilots in the mothership hub got awarded for July.

Look I couldn’t care less how you vote on this TA. Heck be one if those “I always vote No” guys for the rest of your career if you like. Some of you guys have legitimate concerns, but some just get off on finding anything to b&tch about.

In one post, ImSoSuss will complain that our trips aren’t productive enough because they’re worth min credit (also untrue btw). Then in the next post he’ll say our monthly credit is too high. This site, or at least the AA section, has turned into a disinformation b&tch-athon.

All my trips are about # days of trip X Min Day credit and so is almost everybody else. So that part is very true, the crapomizer makes sure of it.

Already this summer I've been awarded a 90 plus hour line but El Panso said it never happens so let's all believe his lies.
