Sadly they took that option away with the banked PB assault. Some trips did require triple to get late month reserves off the couch. Now we're just sitting hear roasting virtual marshmallows over the Gummster fire while refreshing

well on a bright side at least we aren’t beating Spirit again in cancelations today…. Any good rumors on how negotiations are actually going? Been silent from both sides which can usually imply something may be brewing?

Really…had no idea. People post stuff on here all the time. He’s just asking. Zero need to be snarky just to post.

Or better yet, get rid of them entirely. Fixing the coverage ladder will probably make this all a moot point.
Ok, so where do you stop with degrading seniority?

Is it degrading seniority to have leveling mechanisms for other premium? Why should SS be different?

There shouldn't be leveling mechanisms for other premium. Junior can eat when senior gets his fill.

Being senior means you get the first piece of pizza. It doesn't mean you get the whole pizza. That's how it works across the board, except silver slips. And I couldn't care less about a leveling mechanism for silver slips. They do, however, need to go away altogether.

By the way...did you figure out what day your paychecks come on yet? Are there any other basic concepts we can explain to you? I know we already covered how to move reserve days, when bids come out, bidding services, x day bidding strategies, etc... But we're here for you.

This senior vs. junior stuff is divisive and is only going to chip away at our bargaining power. I trust the union will knock it out of the park so let’s lay off eachother.

My paycheck hits my account on the last day of the month and on the 13th. It's been like that for years. When I asked the question, it didn't show up until the 16th.

I really appreciate you being available to answer any questions that might pop into my mind. I'll let you know when I have some.😉
