Here's my question. If the pilots fly a DP month after month, does that mean the company can build pairings with identical parameters but to different cities and they can't be disputed? That would explain why cheap foreign hookers and disputed pairings seem to go hand in hand, i.e. Almaty and Campinas???

come on...because if they are not flown by reserves for a set time then those types of trips can be put in the bidpack and cannot be disputed again... then the company can put similar trips in the bidpack which cannot be disputed..if only reserves fly them then they go away...geez

Sorry to recover old ground but this is incorrect. Once a pairing is disputed, it will go thru the review process unless withdrawn by the union or resolved. The only time limit is that if a sequence has been flown by an aircraft type for 3 bid periods it can no longer be disputed. It has nothing to do with reserves flying the sequence...that is our MEC's recommendation for a show of support for the SIG. This isn't advocacy (although my opinion is well documented) just info which can be read in the contract.
Please refer to Sec. 25.BB of the contract! It's very clear, concerning the resolution of disputed pairings. Try reading it.
25.BB.F.1.c. Additionally, if on a recurring basis, a pairing, disputed or not, appears in open time and is routinely avoided by pilots trip trading or eligible for make-up, OTP, etc., and therefore must be assigned to a reserve pilot, the above procedure shall apply, unless the Association elects to pursue the VP/MEC Chairman track instead.

Opened mind,
You are also free to think whatever you like. But, don't spread this kind of crap around, as if it is true.
This is a complete bunch of bullsh!t.
It has everything to do with reserves having to fly the DP's!! Leave the DP's in open time, and the company must allow the disputed pairing to go through the review process. And, then it might be changed.
