That's so Bat**** soup that it's like having a slice of Lyme Disease with your Coronavirus.

Just don't get ticked off.

I don’t think it’s THAT crazy. I can’t hold any widebody A except 7ER in NYC but I personally don’t have any desire to do the flying the 777 and 350 do. Call me crazy. I did do INTL on the ER right seat years ago and enjoyed it, but ICN, JNB, PVG, HND, and PEK....you guys can have it. One day I’ll bid the 330 A and fly to Europe again, but only when I can control my schedule a little. 70% in catagory, or so.

I am very anxious to see how many junior A's are going to bail for Widebody B. I am one of them. I have been working my ass off the last 2+ years. Looking to hide out in the right side of a 330 or 350 for awhile until we get a new contract. Being junior in the left seat on a narrow body right now is brutal. Left seat is going to go crazy junior in NY and LA. I don't think a 2014 is going to hold 737A in ATL though. ATL is going to continue to go more and more senior.

no way.....2010 hire maybe.

737A ATL down to 10,000.

320A ATL....stays pretty senior.

350A stays about where it is....2700-2800

shocking award.....NYC 330A 3800-4000 and NYC 765 4000+

I know that NYC 73N reserve has been absolutely brutal...

717. Staffing so low you work every day on reserve and can hardly move a single X-day around. I'll go use my seniority in the right seat to make almost as much as reserve and be home 2X as much.

Our flying in DTW went to crap once the west coast flying stopped. Which is fine, if you're into the Dakota's in January.

I can see how this would be frustrating because it seems like you deserve that green slip. However, can you really fault the guy if it improves his quality of life? Does your QOL or premium income trump his? Once again i can understand your personal frustration but not the outward animosity. Just like a person could get frustrated when they get used on reserve they don’t blame the guy that called in sick or whatever else caused the trip to be uncovered.

Maybe he’s a commuter too. Or maybe he’s not. It’s none of our business as long as he’s working under the contract.

Griping about it, and especially using his/her initials on a public forum (presumably in an attempt to shame him/her into changing their behavior) is poor form.
