Default DP's

Please get the word out on the DP's. All but 1 of the pairings is gone for the month in the left seat of the 27. It is only going to go down hill from here, especially since the crew force continues to pick them up. What ever it takes, please help educate others. Thanks

Actually, I have been on board with the sig for a long time thank you. I understand it has been stated many times on this board, however, many within our ranks still do not understand what they are doing. I am simply asking all of us who want to see the trips remain somewhat liveable to once again remind those who are flying these trips what they are doing.

Many people including myself do not come on here daily, and back read previous posts, if you do not want to read mine...don't.

I think that the DP problem will only get worse as the pairings continue to decline in quality and the number of trip hours disputed by the union continues to rise. I think at some point we have to recognize that the trips here are going to suck and that is just the nature of the beast. People that pick up DP's now are just exacerbating and accelerating an inevitable outcome.

Another solution that for some reason is rare on some of these trips...FATIGUE. I am not saying do it on a regular basis, but if delays cause these terrible trips to be delayed further by all means use the call if your tired. I don't know why people are so afraid to make this call.
