I understand....it's just frustrating to watch this happen, over and over!

Look at the bright side. Someday you can bid jr CA while those guys are still camped out.
Your QOL will suck just as much but it will pay more 😜

I would have to bid jr CA because of the "FU I got mine, deadwood, WS mafia"

Problem is I will be dead before I can bid ANY CA seat. Senior WB FO will be enough.

Sr WB FO is a pretty nice gig. All the good beer flavor without the calories. You could even camp out there and be senior and WS.....wait....what? 😝

It's called lower ALV and them wanting to max out before the holidays so that they can GS over the holiday for even more pay.

Oh and it's the last chance to cash in on a 30% PS bonus coming in FEB.

Why we don't have holiday pay is the real question. Right now, senior folk work it for GS pay, junior folk are forced into it as coverage. Seems to me that the union could easily show that if you paid a slight premium, you'd get people to actually bid for it and have way less GS coverage.

We do have holiday pay, but it's tiered. Tier 1: Senior pilots fly at 2x pay on a volunteer basis, and Tier 2: Junior pilots fly coverage trips for straight pay. You want to be in Tier 1.

But if you do that then you'd have to give it to all the oth... oh.
