Also if I add up my FLT ADV and my FLT PAY and multiply it by 5% it comes out to a number that is LARGER than what was paid in the October Profit sharing payment. I take it the FEB will be whatever was missed since the OCT one was just a guess?

Of course it's unrealistic to expect 100% of pilots to vote for a contract, or even a strike.

But I'd much rather have a "union" with that lofty goal when negotiating a TA, than the absolutely pathetic goal of 50% + 1 voting "yes."

A quick way to check what's going on in any category you are thinking about bidding into, is to go look at their open time daily in iCrew, see which trips are there (if there are any at all).

Also look at their daily reserve staffing, see if they have plenty of coverage, or how many days they are short, and even look at the "Reserve Availability List".

Then go look at the last month's schedule awards, look at the Wide Reports, see who's flying what. See how many senior guys are bidding reserve, that will tell you if they are getting used, or sitting around a lot.

There you can also see which trips go senior, and look at the bottom line holders to see which trips are the least desirable, also scan to the bottom of the wide report to see which trips were left in Open Time, that will tell you something about those trips.

Lastly, bid what you want, but want what you bid! And remember, bidding something as "Regular Line Only" doesn't mean squat, because you might be the bottom line holder at the time of award, but in the next bid, senior guys might bid in and push you onto reserve.

Good luck men, we're all counting on you! :eek: :D

I was under the impression they were putting new hires into every narrow body, and some into the 767/757 as well? Is that not the case?
