On NB categories it's a big deal.

 

I don't chase $$$ T but I do need to pay my bills.

 

Of course. And that's great. But you were complaining that you have to fly more and more, and it appeared as if you were blaming manning and or the way our schedules are built. There is a solution if you don't want to fly what ever you believe min credit should give you.

 

Give me a count as to how many guys have actually flown 99 hours with any regularity. Educate me.

 

I know it's been covered before, but where do you find in the PWA the rules regarding reassignment when you are removed from a rotation so a LCA can do OE? I know they will call around 7 the night before, but I thought they could re-assign you if there were open trips. I got one of those and thought I better figure out how the process works.

 

Don't look at the % of flights operated by DCI carriers, you'll scare yourself!

 

One of the pre contract 2012 LOE's eliminated all standby obligations for FO's removed from the trip for training. You will be paid for the trip and are free to WS or GS over those days as you see fit. You could also just go fishing!

 

Offsetting a concession doesn't negate the fact they we still gave a concession. Despite what many on this board say or justify, many of us bottom 15%ers haven't seen much movement despite the retirements and growth.

How is it that we have 500-600 new captains in the last year and I've moved up in the 88B cat about 15 numbers, I just recently broke the 50% in category barrier.

I'm not anti ALPA, but it gets old hearing Sailing, Alfa etc tell us how good things are as we work more than we did post BK! I can't dispute the barrage of data that comes from the usual suspects, I just know that the message that you guys are delivering is far different than the reality that many of us are living.

The company is making huge profits (just as they predicted they would) and we got a 3% pay raise on Jan. 1. Good thing we didn't leave any money on the table?

 

Ok, the company is now forcing you to fly more then you want to fly but you don't try and drop any of the trips because you have to pay the bills? What exactly was the original complaint?

 

does 96 hours count?
