He keeps saying stuff like that, and that More/smaller AE’s are better too. I agree with your assessment he’s a good guy, so that leaves one possibility: his bosses don’t care and/or aren’t willing to push back on network or marketing making our lives miserable for an extra penny or two. THAT is what I find so difficult to swallow, and goes against every fiber of my training and experience prior to coming here. Zero analysis for how much pain that very slight “efficiency” costs the rest of us.

This type of mentality is what will cost them in the long run. A happy work group will bend over backwards to help the operation. An unhappy group will do their jobs. The bean counters can't put a price tag on it, so I guess it's not a problem for them.

Previous advice I've taken to heart. Do your job to the best of your ability, not everyone else's.

Wow, someone has a high opinion of themselves and doesn’t mind bad mouthing their fellow pilots.

Are we reading the same post? Seems like the only one he’s bad mouthing is himself.

“most pilots have found a way out of that rotation”. Subtle jab, calling them out….that’s his reputation though. Good luck 44

Ok, I took that as a compliment. Maybe not intended that way. Good on them for finding a way out. That’s what I would do. No way I’d do a few of these trips I’ve seen lately.

I'm with rooster on this. Definitely self deprecating humor aimed at himself (he's the only one stupid enough to get stuck flying the trip). Seems like you're quite the sensitive one!

or maybe you don’t know what I know. Next.

So what are some techniques for getting out of a rotation? I see even somewhat junior pilots in my category that drop all of their trips and just pick up broken trips all month long. How do they do it? How do you manage to get rid of a four day trip over a weekend? Im not talking about bidding Mon-Fri trips and then PD them. They don't APD, PD, IVD, or sickout yet somehow every month they do it. Is there a swap with the pot trick?
