Nah that could never happen. See what happens if you implement those limitations is “wAcK a MoLe” is initiated and without any evidence whatever other than “tRuSt Me BrO” our pairings would only decline further.

Yes, obviously.

I know you like to play the butthurt snarky AA guy on here, but there's a reason quite a few DAL/UA guys are telling you why EDP and sit made a difference.

There's not some secret cabal of APC people trying to lie. Those two provisions genuinely changed pairings for the better. The long sits and double duty days all but vanished in a matter of a month or two.

First, that was an honest question. Second, I’ve been one the biggest advocates for EDP. Third, you’re an idiot, but I shouldn’t be surprised by the aggressive response. You have several years worth of confrontational posts with just about everyone.

Do I need to show you my pay stubs? I don't have my iPad in front of me, but I'm pretty sure it's in the compass docs on the topic of reserve. If you do not break guarantee the sit pay is absorbed. Show-no-go pay is also absorbed.

Pot, meet kettle. Just two posts ago, you used reddit spelling to imply that there is no way your guy's pairings could get better after multiple people told you that they absolutely could. All of those posts, including mine, were trying to relay that changes in our soft pay rules made huge differences in QoL for the pilots.

But hey, all good man. Keep being butthurt and snarky, I'm sure it'll work out for you one day.

You’re embarrassing yourself now. You might want to read that post again—clearly you have comprehension issues. This is what happens when you assume everything as confrontational. I think you need to take your own advice and go touch some grass.

Lot of **** to ***** about in our contract but lets not make **** up.
No Sir, you are incorrect and making stuff up. YourUnion caved on this issue with the company and SIT for reserves is in fact NOT above guarantee. Contact your representative for more details.

You’re completely wrong on both of these. I just looked at a reserve month from last year where my PROJ was 53:00 and I got paid above guarantee for both sit time and show no-go.
