Think of all the jobs and advancement we could create if the monthly cap was 65 ! And NO flying above !!
Yea, that's the ticket ..."we need to protect us from ourselves" !
"It will help more pilots therefore, it must be good"!
"Free market be damned...socialism for all" !!
"Equal pay for all pilots"!!
"I don't want to work any more", therefore I WILL try to restrict you from working more so that I can feather my nest with no extra effort due to more rapid progression, and restrict your unbridled ambition to seek the bestest for your family thru extra work.

I’m not against having a fair pick up limit. If you think the ALV plus 15 is too low, fine. But the limit should be the limit. There should not be loopholes around it.

You misunderstand,
This in not against the union at all. In fact it is the opposite. I fully support the union and the collective bargaining agreement that was membership ratified....You know , the one that has allowed us to fly back vacation and swap with the pot above ALV+15. It has been the status quo (because it has been in effect since around PBS intro....so a lot of years) for a long, long time.
So, if the membership wants to tweak provisions that materially effects bidding seniority, I have no problem....just allow at least 2 years prior to implementation so I can bid to a category that pays much more hourly because my category super seniority will be worth much less.
I'm always thankful that there is a way for me to easily dump a trip on the swap board when there isn't reserve coverage, as well as the ability to pick a trip up
The bit about the union is in reference to bygone era's (stories from my dad) where the employees would go down to the union hall and get all spooled up and then take a strike vote based on emotion and beer....you know...kinda like the mindless drivel and angst about the union "studying", "exploring" ways to increase retirement income and then it gets bastardized into something unrecognizable here on the forum. My union would be negligent NOT to at least explore opportunities for more and present them to us in an impartial manner.

i.e. You have a 2 day. your P/U Max is 3 hours. You can swap your 2 day for a 5 day and increase your pay by 15:45 even though you MAX P/U was only 3hrs because there is no cap on Swap with the pot.
