Just wait til 2020. This group will fall for the artificial timelines put on us to sign a crappy deal by Parker and glass in no time. It's going to be infuriating.

A quick look thru the vac award for my base shows mostly senior/relatively senior guys floating. Lots of zeros from third listers on down. Way to go baby boomers, genX and millennials showing you how it's done.

I wanted to float and get paid, I'm single/no kids I can make a vacation whenever I want with PBS/ttot, but I didn't. And I'm not a 3rd or 4th lister.

Why would a fairly senior 330 pilot not float his vacation? They can bid reserve and take as much time off as they want. Floating their vacation gives them more money with the same time off.

Browsing through DFW, MIA, CLT, PHL, and PHX. It appears that LUS east guys were the worst offenders by far, with the exception being guys on property less than about 6 years. The LAA exception appears to be 777/787 guys, who did float quite a bit.

Meanwhile management is surely laughing in our faces.

More FOs than Captains followed the union's request and did not float.

Shows that the junior guys are paying attention and are willing to bind together.

As the older guys retire, the more unified we will become.

Shame on anyone who floated. The ability to create leverage was diminished by floaters.

I was thinking the same thing. Just have to keep getting the newhires motivated with the rest of us.

There is no point in going to ALPA. Our problem isn't the union, it's the membership.
