I will not give a guy the benefit of the doubt when his union asked him specifically not to do something. Idc what his "data" showed about the merits of not floating. Union says don't float then don't float. Slice just got outed as the selfish company blowhard he is. You and I both don't know what's going on in Slice's life so I apply the benefit of the doubt. Other than that - like you said - there is really no other excuse, I agree. |
Sesame Street
Okay, so he's a character from Seseme Street. Company sellout.
This stuff isn't hard. Don't float. Being CLT based, sad to see our Captains sell out. I'm tired of watching them go out of their way to hinder our union. |

All I'm saying is, be careful who you criticize of floating without facts first. On C&R just now there was a senior DFW 80 CA who floated due to his wife having some severe health problems.

Yea barring extreme family circumstances. But seeing how he has enough time for 50k posts between here and c and r and now he's in hiding I'm almost positive he is just a sellout. Standing by for his sob story. |

How is not floating a vacation going to help your cause? You are not in section 6 negotiations. Your union never should have agreed to a 5 year deal. I don't blame guys for floating their vacation. If the union didn't want it done, they shouldn't have put it in the contract.

Oh please. Not floating would require more pilots, genius. The union dropped the ball on our contract. That's known. However now they're trying to build solidarity and show management we can stick together. I blame the floaters. They were asked not to and they did anyway. Pure selfishness. |
The theory was if we all bid vacation, it would require more pilots. They wouldn't have time to staff it, so there would be a bunch of premium trips.

While I don't agree with Slice's option to float, I've known him long enough to at least figure he had extenuating circumstances that caused him to do so. Always give folks benefit of the doubt.
And say what you want about him... he's helped me out a ton the past years on all sorts of stuff. He's a good guy. We don't always see eye to eye but I respect him. Your entire statement about him is contrary to your previous post. You may like him. You may think he is a great guy. I don't know him at all, but if he floated I don't see him as a unionist. As you previously stated, there are no excuses. |
Funny how he just disappeared.

Didn't you just previously write - "The only folks who get a pass on floating are those medical leave, disability".
