FDX MD-11 FO thought

Is it just me or coincidence the same small handful of people get all the really nice charters, extra pairings and open time jewels?

well it could be you....but only if you are one of the 6-8 people who constantly get the vast majority of good deal charters.

If it is you, tell us how do you do it. Or should I say who do you know?

Oooh, No!!!
It's not me. I'm in awe of the few and their ability and my woeful "earlier time stamp" woes!

Almost like they have an inside source to alert them (maybe personal text?) when these trips are being dropped into open time! It's just phenomenal the luck and timing these fortunate few posses

It's almost as if one of those is really good friends and neighbors with a scheduler...but just because one of them tells you this personally doesn't mean it's true.

It would be interesting to find out if there were financial interests for the "informers"? (Not that anybody actually ever admitted that

)

Don't be in awe of those knucleheads(I wanted to use a different word). These guys aren't playing fair and they are screwing their fellow pilots and have absolutely no remorse! They are getting some of these charters in open time while they are still flying, how is that possible? Sounds like they are violating company policy, but still have jobs. Hopefully they can be stopped from this skullduggery, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
