My leg so getting ready to brief I get notified from ops that I'm to go operate another flight. Thus is 35 min to push. I make some calls told I need to fly it. No rest issues so off I go.
I'm at layover now it's a 3 day trip. We flew 8.2 block today. 11 hour layover to a 3 leg 7.6 block hour tomorrow.
Why do we bid???
Hats off to you HBTH I agree with your statement.

Already spoke to ALPA. They've got screen shots, names etc.
This happens all the time.

Sadly the new MEC chair will not hold their feet to the coals like the last one did. I have so little trust in management it's just sad.

This thread may be overlooking the other parts of the shuffle. I like both the gentlemen taking over the functions RG performed.
I'd also observe that RG had literally nothing to do with some of the things he got blamed for by the pilots. The culprit of those problems is still around, but he seems "nicer."

You're going to get paid handsomely for that inconvenience. One of the few parts of our PWA where the punishment fits the crime

Why are we looking for violation compensation rather than compliance? Bassackwards! F’em. Why should I comply with the PWA (reserve call out window or sick usage) if they don’t?

Far more suited for it than RG ever will be. Plus BS is a really good dude. Knew him from his Expressjet days. He's on point and I would welcome him moving up to SVP.
