To me you're just working more (not taking vacation) to get paid more, but there is no such thing as a free lunch. The opportunity cost of floating is more time working. Glad I can live on 60 hours a month if I have too. And probably 20 to 30 when I'm at SB's seniority.

Floated. It looks like a Ponzi scheme. Guys with no skin in the game asking others to give forgo up to 12% of their pay. Plan do secret thru couldn't tell the BOD. BOD took five days to agree up support it. They were busy, flying non stop for five days, and too busy to communicate. BOD decision made with no review of the data supporting the 'no float' call. $40,000 decision. Welcome to APA logic

Folks, please save this reply. This should be a constant reminder that those senior guys *ONLY* think about themselves and they are willing to throw you under the bus!

Me. Me. Me. Me.
Or is it an attempt to brag about a profit-sharing like payout to DL and UA pilots?
He probably wears his APA "UNITY" tag with pride!

Exactly. All about greed. I floated and cashed out 14 days from last year. I'm looking forward to that payment next check.
But unlike slice when my union asked something of me I didn't hesitate to bid all my vacation this year. But it's prob hard to live on $300/hr, they take out so much in taxes!!!

Yes I did, and that's exactly what I meant. Maybe he or his family had a medical reason to do so. I've already read of several pilots on our board that floated due to that, and our union president gave them a pass at the beginning. So that's why we should always give them the benefit of doubt before slamming them.
Everybody has his or her right to exercise the freedom in our contract, but it is no justification for selfishness, let alone making up some weird excuse.
@Slice: Be a man and admit that you are greedy. Don't give us this bullocks about a Ponzi scheme.

Slice I think it's clear no one gives a f what you say anymore. At least be a man and say you threw your brothers under the bus for a couple extra bucks.
Unfortunately for the rest of us you don't retire until after 2020. Looking forward to your idiotic ramblings about why we need to take the money now!!!!!
