Default FDX- 2B or not 4A2B

I would love to be a fly on the wall. But if I was, I'd likely keep my trap firmly shut for fear of gumming up the process. I wish our guys well.

Ahhh, yes. Today and tomorrow, I believe.

I still stand by first statement above, though!

anyone else find it odd that we're cut back below 60 hours but they don't have enough pilot's to cover trips and they are drafting.

what's up with that?

jagplt,

It is not odd. The company cut the reserve lines in half to dilute our BLG. There are very few reserves to cover trips and particularly when there is a weather event that disrupts the system. I am sure they are OK using some draft when needed versus paying more reserves. Reserve is a not a good deal now for most seats.....

I wonder how many hours we are flying compared to a year ago? This is important for this grievance. Are we flying much less or is the company scheduling us more efficiently? Cutting reserves is certainly adding to efficiency as well as optimizing our schedules.....

Plus, I would guess that we have more people going through training right now than we normally have. Thus, more in Pay Only.

Who is Jessica Alba and why on earth would you want to be her bicycle seat??

On second thought, forget I asked. I'm sure I don't really want to know. And besides, it's thread drift and The Man, El Jefe will give me an infraction!

Vagabond,

You really need to get away from this site a little more.
