4a2b question $$$
 
Who kept a "full paycheck" during this scam that was thrust upon the crewforce ? I am not liking what I am hearing ......................... Do we have hypocrytes amongst our group and self professed back slappers ???

What is your definition of hypocrite in this scenario? No, I didnt take a pay cut to speak of in the last year. But I did have to work harder ( i.e. more butt time in the seat). I used my seniority to bid high paying Intl lines (instead of easy domestic) with lots of block over 8 pay and some C/O. Every month I worked less than min days off and flew ZERO DFT/VLT. I dont see that as being a hypocrite or a back slapper, just proper bidding. And I enjoyed my usual time off also.

Same here. Flew SiBA, blocked 180hrs last year and enjoyed some extra time off. NO dft/vlt. Didn't notice much of a paycut. Zero X wives though.....

Box, to be more specific, I find it disgusting when I have seen or heard of those amongst us that are enjoying 130 to 150 credit hour bid months, at a time when a majority of the crewforce was getting half or less of that.
Can you explain to me why our MEC was getting a "full paycheck" when those they are representing were not ? To what end are we as a group willing to accept the unacceptable ? I find it more and more difficult to envision any possiblity of unity amongst this group, when there are clearly those that feel "entitled to get theirs" and watch everyone around them "lose theirs". The end result of the 4a2b debacle is a divisiveness that will not go away for years to come .........................hopefully Leadership is on the way but it will be long after I have left this place.

Indefinitely would be my guess.

We have another opportunity to show what kind of nads we have if a CGN base is announced; due to the fact that another FDA LOA will probably be needed. We had ALL of the leverage last time and ended up with something much less than we should have, IMO of course. It would be nice to hear our Union doing some posturing for this upcoming probability.
