FDX-Can you believe this?
Check out Pilotswap.net. Airbus Cpt seniority #13 wants someone to bump him for a RNO 12+ hr trip because his wife is having a stomach procedure. YGTBSM!
I have a few suggestions for you Einstein:
1. Ask to trade the trip for a trip some other time.
2. Drop the trip and make it up later. (I guess you can't afford it because you are living paycheck to paycheck with 30yrs at the company).
3. Call in sick. (Then I guess you would not get the max B plan contribution for you sick leave).
4. Nice try. I guess you are trying to get some school house guy to feel sorry for you. If you pull it off, you are brilliant.

Don't know what the trip is, but if it has a DH, putting it up "for sale" could be very mutually beneficial to a commuter that would rather get a ticket and not have to worry about getting to work. Same for someone that might need to get somewhere for some reason, or lives there. Doesn't hurt to ask before just dropping it, what's the harm? We spend more time bashing each other than trying to work together. Again, why create a problem when there is none? Is anybody really surprised when we continue our infighting right into contract negotiations?

Or to put it another way, is anybody really surprised when we continue to behave in ways that cause infighting right into contract negotiations?
I have no idea of the specifics of this gentleman and his situation so I don't include this as part of the behavior. DP flying, draft flying, FDA LOA, ALPA/Company side letters without informing those affected, etc, etc are behaviors that cause the infighting.
I tire of those urging unity and cohesion during negotiations and whatever blows your skirt up the rest of the time.
