If that is not selling back 100% of your vacation, I don't know what is. No, you cannot pick up time on your vacation days, but the rest of the month you can pick up to ALV+15+ the 21 hours of vacation. ie. you just sold it back. I can't believe how hard some people want to work. Get a hobby. (NOT directed @ you Timbo) |
It's the end of October, and I'm reviewing how much others on reserve have worked. Does it seem like a fair distribution of workload that those junior on reserve have logged 74 hours while those senior on reserve have logged 10 hours or less? Was this the intent of the new reserve scheduling system?
Or maybe another question would be, is this a smart way to do business? |

No, you cannot pick up time on your vacation days, but the rest of the month you can pick up to ALV+15+ the 21 hours of vacation. ie. you just sold it all back. This, along with no limit on the amount of time you can pick up by swapping with the pot, and trip parking, is what is killing your upward movement. These are words of wisdom Fellas. :) Scoop |

Junior guys work weekends (typically). That's when a majority of trips get covered. They will naturally fly more

The combo of LA/SA is a bit big though.
How about just Brasil? And yes, it took some effort, but I found a picture of a Brasilian supermodel (Giesele something or other) in a heavy coat. http://img.wisatadunia.net/medium/5/...n%20jacket.jpg |

The divorced guy who picked it up had over 120hr. for the month... Geez, I wonder why he's divorced? :rolleyes: I'm sure his ex-wife enjoyed her pay raise. Oh, and I was out racing my catamaran when I could have been flying a 2 day worth 10:30, so that hobby cost me about $2,300 that weekend. Life is about living...right? |

And we're double screwed because ever since constructive engagement the union is all about "productivity" every bit as much as management. They would have happily allowed trip parking to continue if the line pilots didn't finally revolt. I preach about this every chance I get but the philosophy nowadays is that its OK to remain a first officer for a few extra years instead of upgrading because we can make up the pay difference by flying to the ALV+15 even during vacation months. Even wh0res have a better system than us. |
