OMG dude, you're a tool. Aren't you the doosh threatening to leave FedEx because it sucks here? Please, and I speak for every Captain that has go to work with you, leave. Go back to where you came from. Your quote would be funny if you weren't serious "people junior to you are getting sweet deals, there's a problem". So no one is allowed any sweet deal if he's junior to you? AYFKM? You are just ignorant dude.

Ok, I'll bite.
Do you think it's possible that some people getting better open time trips have put more genuine, HONEST, hard work into improving their calendars than some of the conspiracy theorist on this message board? Unfortunately because of their success they are persecuted by the jealous vocal minority. This ignorant perception of those that have become experienced, efficient, fast, knowledgable at trip trading has forced some to block their calendars in hopes of not being harassed. I'm sorry this is harsh, but come on guys. I for one wouldn't risk this wonderful career by doing anything illegal, shady, or unacceptable to my union brothers. I can only speak for myself, but if I've been tried and convicted, as I have, based on flatly false accusations then I wonder if the other "offenders" are maybe honest as well.

You're so full of sh!t JS and you and your CHARTER homies know it!!! You guys are effing your fellow co-workers and violating ALPA's Code of Ethics at a minimum. I hope you guys get what's coming to you...
Do you actually think it wouldn't go unnoticed for so long?

Lakeside, I have been here over 13 yrs and am a Capt on the MD-11, I do not need to be patronized on the difference between Charters and X-pairings. Funny how you rationalize it as "HONEST, hard-work". Is that what it is? Finding some caveat to get all the good deal trips, and then requiring both legs of an out-and-back to maintain a 3 in 3 currency requirement. That is honest, hard-work? I am not going to harass you or call you names. I have never met you and I have no idea what your schedule is like. You do have a rep, though, and your posts are not going to help that. NEWSFLASH, do not play the victim in this, you are not.

J.S. was awarded line 2291 for FEB. This consists of ONT and DFW am MEM hub turns. He has not flown any of these trips this month and drops all of them to be available for XTRAS and CHRTRS. He has done this every month for YEARS and will mostly likely do it again for MAR.
J.S., you may have your calendar blocked but there are MANY eyes on you until this problem gets fixed!

As a guy who lived on open time for years, but now looks at being a bottom 10% captain for a looong time before (hopefully) too long, I am now endorsing what I once was against-- a Delta-ish seniority based open time. Why? Because since about Fall 2011 something broke. The same cast of guys always wins. I will lose more than most if we go to that system. Alas--I think it is the best overall solution. BOTS, inside info, or other malfeasance may be in play, but I can show you on my calendar when (something) happened. You cannot always win every quickdraw contest. KB's open time chimes do not explain month after month of similar success. So lets go back to what we know is legit, even if it stings some (like me). I prefer being screwed by my senioroty than screwed by any co-workers.

Lets not cut our nose off to spite our face.
There is something FISHY going on with the charters and the company knows it! Word is they are watching but waitn on all the evidence before they can legally proceed.
