So you heard it here first, next bankruptcy we're removing the military jargon.

Maybe we could start bidding for Deployments instead of trips and rotations.
As a retired van admiral, I think we should go full nautical. Belay the lubberly scuttlebutt, stow those sea bags, hoist the jetway, batten all overwing hatches, and shove off! Arrrrrr.

Maybe even work in Gunny W's standard callout...."Hatch*****!....Crack the hatch!"

I'm not here to compare Johnson's about who had it worst......my point is.........

IT'S A ZERO SUM GAME......IF THE BOTTOM OF THE SENIORITY DOES BETTER,THE TOP OF THE SENIORITY PAYS FOR IT.


Just like Democratic Socialism....when the bottom 50% of the voters(who pay NO federal income tax) vote for more "free" sh*t".....the government/company doesn't pay for it......those bearing the tax load do



So, if the "less senior" get their "come-uppance, they get a win .....but he senior guys get...nada......that's win/no win


Sorry if life's "facts" are too much for you



THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH..........
I would like everyone to know, young or old, junior or senior, or anyone from any other airline reading this thread, that Buck here, and his opinions and attitude, doesn’t represent anyone on this seniority list.

I don’t even think he is one of our pilots. (I hope he isn’t) I think he is a troll and trying to incite anger and vitriol. Stop feeding the troll, please.

It's my #1 suggestion each survey..... senior dudes who want to fly would reap the benes on the initial bid, not having to bid off and pray for green slips. Junior guys would be off the hook or if on, at least get a little bene.
Seniority would still let you rule..... just instead of a few getting double time, more could get some override %.

If the company was smart they would be for Holiday Pay too. Just look at the problems there are covering trips over holidays and how many go out as GS's. Where the company might have heartburn is if a GS over a holiday paid double the holiday pay.....essentially making it 4X regular pay. I suspect something could be written into the contract to avoid this uhhhhh predicament.

Or consistently lucky.

Not saying they are dumb by any stretch of the imagination but they have said some dumb things in the past.....Maybe they just need the advantages pointed out to them...

I've always said "I'd rather be lucky than good!"
