​​​​​​We didn't think they would do that.

It's almost as if they are intentionally creating QOL problems. They couldn't possibly be inventing problems with $0 cost solutions. Would they expect us to make concessions to solve them during negotiations? Nah, that would be synical of me.

On a related note, I've had one trip buy followed by a GS this year that has generated 45 hours of premium pay over and above what I was originally scheduled to work. 45 hours is 5% of my normal 900 hour year. That one contract provision has been the equivalent of a 5% pay raise.

I’ve managed to have good luck getting a pretty nice, cheap AirBnB just outside EWR. I’ve even thought about just bidding the uncommutable EWR trips instead of getting a pad in the traditional
spots for JFK/LGA; haven’t decided yet.

yep. The EWR trips are awful, even by NY standards, they may go to some nice places but geeze they are about as bad as a trip can be by most standards, but especially in such a commuter heavy domicile. if I didn’t know better, I would think this is being done on purpose😒😒

Again, the 73N is a garbage airplane with garbage overnights. No one should come to it if they are senior to me

I don't feel the need to willingly commute.

Not on the 320! Only 737 has a decent number of turns.

It's funny how the company says they are working to create better rotations, but nothing changes.
