For me that all depends on the fleet and its mission vs the credit. 91:30 on the 88/717 is very different than 91:30 on the 73N or 7ER. I've done 80 hrs credit on the 75 block on 717 and felt exhausted. I've done 177 credit on the 73N on 95 block and it felt like a free jet plane ride to the next party in an awesome city(never more than 2 legs a day).

Yes all those folks have had opportunities to go somewhere and gain seniority rapidly. Atlanta? Stay on the 717. Detroit? 717. Seattle? Most junior plane is 737 so you are getting decent 1-2 leg a day trips. Big downside is the red eyes. Minneapolis? You have Airbus, 737 and overall pretty nice trips that come with those fleets

I am senior in category still been getting inverse assignment calls. The company did the same thing in the 05-07 time frame before it became more economical to just hire more pilots. It became very tiring very quickly. For narrowbody pilots you knew when you were signing in but only had a vague idea when you'd be getting done with a rotation.

 

If you hav a 90/10 split with your business partner id have to assume its reflective of a proportional ownership stake.

That....or you are a fool and your 'partner' knows it.

You have no such ownership in the corporation. You....are an employee. So beyond the PS cut and gains from stock positions....you enjoy no ownership position to 'share' in revenue and profits.

I question your lucidity with statements that delta has extracted financial gains as much from employees of the last 5 years as much as the last 25.

 

Let's start a letter campaign to not only the company but also ALPA, informing them that the bottom 10% have a crappy QOL and from here on out refuse to fly on....... Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, New Years Eve, New Year's day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, my wife's birthday, my kid's birthday, my dog's birthday, St. Patrick's Day, Valentine's Day, Super Bowl Weekend, Halloween, President's Day, Columbus Day, and especially Aviation Day.

As I said earlier (TIC), we need to be a democratic socialist system where we can spread out these onerous QOL issues. I'm sick and tired of the rich just getting richer, the senior getting more senior, and that the poor, downtrodden masses at the bottom 50% have to stand in line for breadcrumbs and with their best English accent asking, "Please, sir. May I have some more."

Let's average the pay scales and everyone can make the same from year number one to year number 40.

Do like American and non-rev by first come, first serve.

Everybody gets three and a half weeks of vacation. None of this new hires one week and 25 years guys five weeks.

When deadheading, a random number generator allocates seats with no regard to seniority because we're all equal. We are going to share the benefits and the difficulties equally.

I do see a very positive outcome of this new airline order. Copilots can start buying captains rounds of drinks and dinner and the captain won't even say thank you.

When crew meals are available, we'll flip a coin to see who gets their first choice if they are limited.

When checking into the hotel, if there's one suite and one normal room, flip a coin to see who gets it.

Flip a coin to see who gets the rest break of their choice.

Flip a coin to see who gets a landing if they're limited.

On the international fleet, all copilots are checked out as captain, so we'll flip a coin to see who sits in the left seat vice right seat.

We will dictate to the company how to construct rotations and lines of time.

Monthly bidding will have a random number generator to determine the first bidder vice the last. Every month can be a crap shoot. Did I get a lump of coal in my stocking or did I get that pony that I always wanted?

Even stevens. This will be great.

 

Sometimes I think this forum is full of children.

 

Thanks for your very adult input to the QOL inequality discussion....you explained your position beautifully! Well done Sir !

 

Are you saying being senior and getting Inverse Assignments calls are affecting your QOL? (I'm assuming you're not picking up the phone)

I’m with wake on that one. You can disagree with the point made, but as per usual, you went off on a tail spin about how millennials/kids/newbs/snowflakes and all the other people that don’t see it through buck’s eyes are just plain stupid. Don't say, “Show me where I called anyone stupid.” You wouldn’t have been as absurd and long winded if you weren’t insinuating it.

I look forward to hearing a full analysis of my entitlement.

 

I do not pick up the phone, and although you say putting a trip on the the swap board or as a qualified drop will get picked up, that is not always the case. Especially if people know that the coverage is so low. Why pick up for straight pay when you can try to get double right.
