Let's make this clear....................DW made a conscious decision to disregard 68% of his constituents and supported changing the Age 60 rule to 65......THEN he single-handedly decided to inject himself on the legislation-writing process at the ALPA National level and included verbiage that allowed those over 60 to move back to the front seat(retroactivity).....adversely effecting every pilot under 60 on the seniority list. WHY is he still representing us??????????

The difference was that there was absolutely no overtime flying for commuters (in ANC), unless they didn't mind hanging around an additional day between the end of their normal trip and the beginning of their extra trip. I'm not sure that's even an issue any more, based on all that's happening.
Oh well. Looks like Fred's buying another condo.

Being a junior commuting Captain ( or F/O) to anywhere may be really hateful in that case.
Section 25.M.1.g
If a reserve pilot has met or exceeded his RLG, his remaining R-day(s) in the bid period shall be removed without pay consequence.

....think about how many days you'll be able to strectch out 7 days (i.e. 42 hrs of vacation) using that formula in the contract ----wow!
