Or DND.

But putting in slips, and then complaining about getting calls for trips? Get out of here.

Unreal.

It is more important for trips to be covered than it is for you to be bothered. Turn your phone off.


This is the answer.

Oh and I guess get off my lawn but that’s a phrase that is certainly not in my generation’s vernacular fwiw.

to the topic: disagree with 1xpd per pcs run. A huuuuuge advantage to dal is that we can drop an entire month if we have the seniority to do so. Comes in handy once every few years. The company would love it if we volunteered this type of concession and would sharp shoot the manning and alv and rotation construction to ensure that nobody could clear their slate after 0700 on the 21st. No thanks

Let's say I want the next GS I can hold, so I put in a blanket slip. If I'm #20 on the list, why should I have to get 19 phone calls for other people's trips before mine? No thanks. I have a life.

Don’t put in for a GS and then cry about it when you get calls.

I just have a solution that will return everything to the normal order it was, honoring seniority, ridding of the free for all, but it might wake you up if you volunteer to be woken up.

Mar are you applying for 4th floor positions and prepping for the interview on these pages? It is very possible and convenient to have it ‘both ways’ so to speak. Technology and our work rules provide the possibilities, especially as time passes and one’s seniority advances. Patience, things will get better, and pretty soon too! We’ve all spent time at the bottom of the ladder as fodder, it doesn’t last forever. Well it doesn’t have to unless one chooses to bid a category much higher than the qol he expects to generate. Patience. Let the union cook (in my gens vernacular).

edit: ya what immolated said but x100 words^

I call a spade a spade. AA is terrible for pilots and terrible for the company(which I stand by the premise that WE are the company). Mad at the execs? Ok I get it. But hurting the company doesn’t really hurt them anywhere near as much as most believe. That’s all.

AA en masse hurts all. Fact. Who started it? That’s not my argument.
