If we had holiday pay, those trips would more than likely get put on senior folk and at least the ones forced into flying on the holiday against their wishes would also get a bonus.
Holiday manning solved.
True statement. I originally had a trip landing on Xmas at noon. Traded that for a redeye turn where I now land Xmas Eve at 0100 and will walk in my door to catch Santa in the act around 3A. I had a 70+ line bid to try and get Xmas off for my two little ones. As I look now Greens are dropping like flies. Some mid pack guys are getting G2 now.

Great idea for next contract!

I see you and Carl are participating in the airing of grievances where you tell how we have disappointed you. Per tradition we look forward to your feats of strength where you challenge your wife, or child, to wrestling.

Happy Festivus.

The irony and unwitting contradiction within Carl's post makes me laugh :-)

It's difficult for even you to see examples of how our MEC administration handles attempts at "changes from within." Thus your attempt at humor.

Look forward to the new year where you'll crow about our bottom up democracy while ignoring the obvious. Is the sense of belonging really worth the price you're having to pay Bar?

So right when it I needed the Airway Manual the most today the efb said cannot view this document. Went to the paper backup. Been messing with it tonight and can't seem to get it to fix. Anyone else having this problem?

Yep, I worked at JetBlue and have been saying this ever since I got here.

Holiday pay is a win win for everyone. Company gets trips covered much easier, senior guys with no kids who want to work get trips at premium pay without "hoping for GS's", junior guys who don't want to work get it off, and if you unwillingly have to work, you get paid premium pay which makes you feel better about it.

Christmas, New Years, Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving should all be double pay holidays.

Wish the me-too clause worked both ways between us and in-flight. They have holiday pay.

Yes had same problem. Select the Airways Manual sliding it to the right. On the bottom select delete update. Then reselect the airway manual again and download again.
I did this and worked just right
