Sometimes ALPA's taking credit for anything and everything while dismissing any responsibility for things that don't work out in our favor gets a little annoying.

Buying a couple days to tack onto an existing week with your bank to push you into the next vacation pro-ration step is helpful (Like T apparently did recently).

I like the idea by Imapilot to have the ADG get up to 5:15.
(heck, I'd like to see it eventually go to 6:00 like FDX... but let's get take baby steps)

Did anyone else notice the comments by crew planning that they will likely be liquidating vacations for pilots going through training on this bid because they are so tight on getting training completed.

FDX is 6 a day for everything.... Vacation, training, you name it.

Agreed. As does blaming ALPA for everything under the sun that's gone wrong in our industry over the years. :(

That too. But it's tempting to throw stones when they put themselves out to be nearly perfect, which got me leaning negative in the first place. That said, I believe I've tempered my negativity over the past year+. I'm trying. I'm trying real hard.
