Must be a record, ATL 320 B single pilot with Nine, I repeat NINE 23M7 payouts today alone!

Wow. So conceivably what will that pay him? Could that happen every day this month if he cleared his calendar?

I think it’s limited to the ws pickup limit if I’m not mistaken?

Which is why we absolutely MUST have a 23M7 leveling mechanism in C26. That is beyond ridiculous.

Thankfully, ALPA is clearly already considering it, based on the survey. Cannot imagine that wasn’t a very popular suggestion. Very few can benefit on that scale to be opposed.

ha I think that might be considered ‘revisionist history.’ The leverage always has been there, (auto-accept isn’t new) we’re just living through the company’s slow motion attempt to get around it all. Without success so far. Hopefully after the nb pilot costs jump in December they’ll decide to spend the money to start covering trips earlier in time and also invest in a few more human schedulers in January. They’re sure paying a lot to have ‘the most profitable year on record’ or whatever nonsense they want for our 100th anniversary. Those of us who will be around for year 101,102,105,117,125, etc. couldn’t care less but will still be around to clean up the mess.

Ever notice that there has never, ever (to my recollection) been ANY guidance from DALPA to tailor your slips (vs blanket slips) or NOT use auto-accept? THERE IS A REASON.

The company probably wants all ACROS-enabled slips to be implemented the way that QS will be (only a single 12-minute window per step of coverage.) The leverage we have against this is absolutely massive. The batch-size giveaway that led to the rise of auto-accept may be viewed as a brilliant move by DALPA in the annals of history.

I don’t think our leverage is as massive as you think. We might be costing the company a fortune, but only a few pilots are benefitting while the majority are getting screwed. The majority of pilots getting screwed is why the leverage isn’t as massive as you think. It seems quick slip is going to be the way forward. Why not just have the pilot who flies the quick slip make 3x instead of paying someone who is staying home doing nothing especially if it’s based on seniority?

23M7 pays how the trip they missed pays. So if it's a GS, it's pay/no credit.

In theory, yes. There is a screenshot floating around where the person had 23m7 on nearly every day of the month.

Scenario: guy just barely senior to me got an IA. I have slips in, I'm legal for that trip and I never even received the IA call. Is there anything one can do or is this a "sucks to suck and try being senior next time"?

Are you above ALV? Golden X day?
