There was an 88 FO a couple years ago who made well over 400. Commuted too, and didn't work much harder than the average high ALV lineholder or junior/hammered reserve. Buddy bid drop your whole line with pay, get 3 or 4 regular GS trips. Boom, triple pay while not working any harder than your original schedule.

Just experienced all of the “joys” this thread is talking about. It’s a long story, but let’s just say me and another pilot will never extend our duty day ever again. This optimizing everyone’s schedule practice is going to bring our operation to a slow crawl if they continue this bs.

We’re flying VFR now? I know the FOM does not prohibit it, but that came fast!
Makes sense to do that, seeing as how we can pretty much throw EDCTs out the window if we operate under VFR.
Perfect for the go home leg!!!

Day late and a dollar short, I know but help me out here...How was it self induced to any degree by the OCC? Not the idea people, just the poor saps that have to carry out the directive and get crushed if they cant people. 100% of it is induced by mahogany row...

Will never happen. The vast majority of pilots extend their duty day, and are glad to do it. I do not see that changing. I've personally seen on a few occasions where the pilot I was flying with extended and I did not. Both times the other pilot said it's too much paperwork and talking on the phone. Crew tracking, duty pilot, chief pilot calls, and FCR must be submitted. The intimidation factor is too high for most.
I don’t do extensions anymore, either. The best that will come of it is that you get to your destination late and without needing to file an ASAP. It’s all down hill from there.
