This pilot group is addicted to open time flying, and JAs.

So would most pilot groups if they had the opportunity to credit 100 hours per month + at our contract's pay rates.

Upgrades will be at 10 years soon, and I'm talking ANC.

SDFZ is TERRIBLE ! Don't even consider it. Unless you like:

Cranky Captains ! Lousy schedules ! Horrible destinations in crappy hotels !

You are correct, once the vacuum is filled in ANC, it will take just as long to upgrade in ANC as SDF/ONT/MIA plus or minus a few bids.

Agreed, but most other contracts don't have such a high cap.....or at least didn't back in the day.

It still doesn't make it right, especially when your union is doing everything up to and almost including saying they want us to not pick up open time.

Not all of us, I'd rather be home when I'm not having to work, and exercise that right every chance I get.

"Sorry, not available for that JA, and what is Open Time anyway, when I pop the top on my beer when I get home?"
