Keep it coming fellas.
Please relay your specifics to the union.
I'm so low on the totem pole I can't see sunlight.
Stuff like this only makes our case stronger. The stronger our case, the less BLG drop for all of us; and maybe in the process I'll stay employed.
Thanks.

Got called today for a draft, 2 day trip in the left seat of the 11. I politely declined. 3rd time this week they have called for draft.
This in addition to another buddy called twice last week for draft.
So, why the calls if reserve utilization is so low? Why the calls if we are so overstaffed?
Could the company be hiding trips, and intentionally abstaining from calling reserves, drafting instead? Doing this would strengthen the company's position on implementation of 4A2B, yet having drafts (hungry, short-changed pilots) picking up the trips. Interesting to say the least.

Things are getting getting pretty tough around scheds if they're calling 727 Capts for MD-11 trips. No wonder you "politely declined."

Well, since you brought it up....I personally liked your Convair on Takeoff or the airspeed indicator better. You know what they say about opions though....
