Is it too late to have the NC put language in our openers that would give half a pilots' rotation guarentee to the pilot that has to put the company headset he left out away for him?

It's a personal choice. If you don't want to do it then dont.

I will say I've helped, and been helped, in this situation multiple times. If I can pay it forward and help out a fellow commuter or employee's family member then I will absolutely do so. IMO it's just the right thing to do. Getting around is hard enough lately as it is. If we can help one another out, then why not?

Considering there contract was amendable before us 24% does not sound like a home run. With compounding 28 months into the contract we are at 20.5% with the 1% DC bump.
As far as I know however SW is making little progress and getting little to no help from the NMB. I am sure however that had we driven contract 2012 to the NMB it would have been done a long time ago!

Sorry for the bad link. Let's try this again:

Everything you stated re:SWA is true, Sailing.

And we only had to fund it with reductions in profit sharing, reductions in work rules, 70 more jumbo RJ's and other concessions to ensure our contract was cost neutral to Delta.

You wouldn't know. The people who do know aren't talking.

No need to do that as long as we agree to self-fund our contractual gains with contractual concessions.

Interesting game. No dog in fight. Enjoying the competition.

Why do people keep putting the company headsets away? Especially on the 717, they're the nice ones. About 40% of the time I have to go look for it.

We're airline pilots. They're free. We like free. Leave them connected.

Just so we're all clear. When the company decides to do away with providing cabin seats for DH, and wants us to use the jumpseat for it, using the excuse, "Well, you guys routinely give up a contractual benefit to sit in the jumpseat anyway, let's just remove it from the contract." That's not a concession, is it?

I mean, we routinely vilified guys for greenslipping with fourloughees still out, even though it was allowed by the contract, but we turn a blind eye to contract violations by pilots? What next? Suppose guys started picking and choosing which sections of the contract to follow or not. Xray said the contract protects us from management. It also protects us from ourselves.

Y'all choose to do what you want. I will continue to refuse the agent's requests to sit on a jumpseat when I DH. And please don't come asking me to do it. You are asking me to violate the contract and I refuse to do so.

I think Duke just took it with 2 minutes left.

Most of us own headsets. Its not that cool to make someone else clean up after you.
