I do maximum conflict for maximum days off. I get 75 hours and that's it. Never work an extra day for this place.
Between training (twice) and Vacation (three) Carry-ins (another 3 or 4 times a year) plus a few vision issues that I have and it's about 5-7 days of flying for them a month.
No need to be doing OT pickup to fatten the paycheck, especially with guys out on furlough.
It's silly to even bring up the 200k issue. When compared to what guys made in the golden era, factored in inflation and that 200k is a real insult!
We need to aim higher! (I'm talking you to XYZ)

It takes just about 90 minutes to go from the parking lot to where you need to be for check-in.
That's just how this Workers' Paradise is laid-out.
So unless you live in an RV out near the guard shack, you might be pushing it.
