You silly guys. I have it on great authority that these 120-140 hour months hardly ever happen so no need to be concerned. After all it is just a "Handfull of Clowns" what harm can they do? No news here keep moving.

Default Guys willing to work twice as hard

Lag--there's no end in sight if guys are willing to fly twice as much at straight time. There are a bunch of 11Mem trips getting picked up by guys that there are no reserves for. Why not hold out until 10am when they have to start drafting and at least make them pay you for it? Look at 241/13 oct---here's a dude willing to work all but 5 days this month for straight time. Geez....

Jolly,

I agree and have been saying that for longer than most on this forum. Usually followed by a personal attack from someone who caint argue facts.

Similar to DP flying this will only stop when the union publicly calls out these pubes or we a.) Negotiate a cap or b.) Negotiate a way to make flying extra harder. Since neither of these "socialist" ideas is very popular I will be happy to tilt at windmills with you.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day

Maybe you all should do a bit more investigating before attacking your fellow pilots... Had you "expanded" your short sighted shapshot of just this one month, you would have found out that he had a death in the family back over Easter after a long battle with cancer the previous two years. Then if you had taken the time to look at the calendars for the past eight months, since 4a2b, you would have seen that there was a total of 74 extra hours flown which is offset by the 70 hours which were dropped...(a whopping 4 extra hours for the year!!!) all that without carryover conflict month to month... just straightup BLG or RLG. Yeah, you're right FDXLAG, JOLLYF15, and Check 6...he's a "d-bag" for jumping on that extra 4 hours in the past eight months!!!!!!! Some months have a great deal more hours than other months due to family commitments associated with the loss. It warms my heart to see such wonderful support for our fellow pilots when we fail to take the BIG picture into account. Yup. the guy is flying hard this month but look, he didn't do much of anything in FEB, MAR or JUL...I wonder why he took so much time off those months? Gee, Sherlock, I guess that would explain why he made them up in Aug, Sep and OCT! looks to me like we can't see the forest for the trees! To each of you who went so quickly to the attack... thanks for proving my point... you, too, are out for yourselves alone! "Semper Me..." "look how perfect I am for never doing anything extra or draft or whatever..." aren't I great because I can "pluck the speck of dirt from my brother's eye, despite the log in my own [sic]."

Yeah, I regret the draft acceptance... thanks for calling me out on that one... the first one in 5 or 6 years. I do think it is more important to pull together than attack other pilots or groups of pilots. Keep the BIG picture in mind rather than the microscopic view which we are all prone to take at times. Keep the blue side up and the brown side down.... fly safely... Cheers!

You will find a hard time finding me critiquing anyones schedule personally. I critique the concept of rewarding overflying particularly; at straight pay. I don't usually look at others schedules. But since you called me out:

I will bet his trips on the 28th and 29th are indeed CIC.

I am properly chastised....I can admit when I am wrong. I have said before and I will say it again....fly all the make-up you want..it's yours afterall. With that being said if you are protecting CO or accepting draft then, you SIR, are indeed a Dbag...

My humblest apologies....
