Because no one else will take them if they don't? (At least in ANC & SFS)

Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Of course, as a reservist, I just might have a front row seat to see who's picked them up in the other seat...

So.....he's picking up DP's to somehow punish or get back at the "Union" (which is all of us by the way)? YGTBSM. Sophomoric, childish and immature come to mind. Where do we find such men?

I agree. Not the smartest tactic.

I'm sorry. You pick up a DP trip you suffer the slings and arrows from the crew force.

No that is not what I am saying. I am merely stating that all of us are capable of making a mistake and then correcting it. So back off a little. Just trying to give someone the benefit of the doubt before everyone calls for a lynching. Not making any statements about what is wrong and right. We have bunches of guys who scew this up every month. It has been a problem. I also hope to be able to someday learn to live the perfect life where I never make any mistakes that I regret later.

I bet the PC police take that "L" word out. I don't think you are allowed to use it anymore.....

I appreciate your sentiments Cliffy170 but I think Fr8Hauler is right in reference to KS. He has always been a standup guy in reference to truly supporting our pilot group. I don't think it is over until the trip is actually flown. I think that is what makes the determination of whether we won or mgt.

Unless there has been some "invasion of the body snatchers" action going on in ANC this trip will not stay on his sched. I would have PMed you my opinion but you do not have enough posts yet.

Not looking for a fight, nor am I an apologist for anyone who actually flies these trips. Message typed in a hurry--feel free to pick apart my grammer and lack of use of a spell checker.

Following this thread for awhile. Can't help but think that we are attacking the symptoms after the fact. If we had listened to the SIG before the last contract... pressed the union before/while the company turned up the optimizer.. which resulted in these disputed pairings. We would not be expending so much time and effort on harrassing our fellow pilots.

Take the time to ask yourselves.. how did we get here.

Again..so it's OK to pick up a DP trip (for 60-80 hrs + training + vacation) and call in sick and get paid for it...and as long as I didn't "fly it"...it's OK??? Purple Nugget here trying to learn from my mentors...Thanks
