I see,,,,,,,
I was just wondering how that worked, because I did not know. Now when you say that you are also gone the other two weeks, what do you mean by that? As you well see, this is a new language///world for me, so I am going to be asking a bunch of questions to help me understand.
What about: "Things is we have guys that are working for overtime whle we are in the middle of negotiating a contract."
Are they volunteering for this overtime or is Fed forcing them to take it? Is overtime more or the same for the hourly rates?

We are killing ourselves. I'm flying with a guy next month that has ONE day off. Now he has a lot of days in LAS and I'm sure he lives there but he has ONE day off from FedEx. He's a real independant operator. OH, I see he did call in sick the other night when the thunderstorms hit Memphis and he couldn't get to work.

With pilots fighting over straight make up pay and flying 20+ days a month I'm not sure VLT or DFT is even an issue. No wonder nothing good is happening at the table. I guess for these guys, 2 years isn't long enough. Color me discouraged, disgusted and dumbfounded. With so many players like these, maybe we will get what they deserve even if the rest of us don't..

Overtime for straight time

Some people may be dropping R days for trips. (not sure if scheduling is allowing this since I don't sit reserve). But for me I just got taken off a nice trip Friday and got a lousy sub trip. I turned down sub and went home. Now I'll have to go into OTP next month to make up the hours lost. Can't afford to lose the pay.

Vto 101
What the heck are you talking about!
Do this…
Log on to Vips
Choose Monthly bids from the left column
Under Bid Period Processing: Display secondary Lines
Choose your base and position from the lists.
Pick the VTO line you want to see.
Count the days off.
(Doesn't work all the time - only when the bid is finished, after VTO's have been awarded, before the next bid is open.)
However – in fairness to the VTO line holders with big calendars, this might NOT be the line they actually fly, or ever intended to fly. Sometimes guys will not choose min days protection – which gives them the ability to drop trips of their choosing instead of leaving it in the scheduler’s hands. This doesn’t work well at all from LAX MD-11 trips when 90% of the pairings are at least a week long.
