So, bidding question...
I'm 200 LGA, almost bottom of the company for seniority since all the classes after me have been 900s.
I want Atlanta. I just changed my order to be ATL900, then ATL200, then LGA900. I figured that if I can't get Atlanta, I may as well move into a plane that would give me a CHANCE of getting a line before the next century.
Thoughts on my, well...thoughts?

Unpredictable. I've seen move days quickly after final awards and some months away, likewise for differences. I could have gotten out of my last base faster with a straight move rather than aircraft change, but overall it was worth it for the QOL.

Has anyone proposed to the union doing something like PSA for a pay scale, where they get raises every time aircraft come on property? So we agree to the lower rate now (holster the pitchforks for a second) and over the next year pay steadily increases with each added airplane.

Tying payscales to fleet size is a bad idea, as it gives management an incentive to shrink the fleet size (and thus reduce payrates) down the road if a less senior, cheaper regional came along at some point down the road. Give some planes to them and their pilots who would cost less simply due to lack of longevity, and while they're at it make us cheaper as well.

Disturbing? I'd call it a little embarrassing maybe. If those were the only mistakes we were making I'd say we're not doing too bad. Disturbing is getting the shaker multiple times at 390 cuz u went to flight idle to slow and left it there. Disturbing is operating a flight without weather radar activated and going through whatever-T-F that flight in the latest FOU went thru. Pray I'm not on any of those flights
Here's a cut and paste job.
Cleared direct RONNI, turned north
Cleared to MPASS, turned to a 360 degree heading after departure
Didn’t fly RNAV departure correctly
Cleared direct MPASS, departed straight out.
Pilot cleared for 27L approach, lined up to 27R
Given direct SLAWW, aircraft departed direct WALET
I don't understand. It's disturbing that we are RNAV revoked. WTF? Complacency /checklist discipline? Be safe out there, take your time......and VERIFY!

Yeah it's disturbing...turning the wrong way on a RNAV departure can mean collision. That's EFFING DISTURBING!

If it goes as far as a collision, yes, obviously. But there's a couple more BIG safe guards that have to fail before that happens. One, ATC has to miss it (in all cases the error was trapped here). 2, both crews would have to disregard their TCAS RAs before an actual midair went down.
I'm not advocating it's okay by any means, just simply implying that it's the lesser of the three scenarios IMO.
And no need for caps and exclamation points. My hearing is still good.

So, Air Canada wasn't disturbing because it wasn't an actual collision?
