Not everyone lives rent free in their parents basement. We all have bills. I don’t pick up OT hardly ever, but I’m not going to judge anyone for doing what they do because I assume they have their reasons.

I’m skeptical that it actually has any real affect, but it does show solidarity.

so we’re on the same page then, my apologies.
envoy forum is always a great source of entertainment.

Threatening your fellow pilots with a blacklist is sleazy, and trying to organize anything IS a work action. If you think they won’t notice, you are delusional.

No one is organizing anything.
It would be the ultimate Envoy move if they did sue us over it, btw. They’ve been demanding for 6 months that we give up the ability to pick up OT, then they turn around and sue us for not picking up OT. Classic.

no one should have to pick up OT to make ends meet. if you don’t budget well below min guarantee, I’ve got no sympathy for you.

First of all, No, I’m not downgrading.
Second of all, keep your financial advice to yourself. I spend my money the way I want. Who the f* are you to tell me to re-evaluate my lifestyle? And, I don’t need you to be sympathetic.
Third of all, go back to your PDT threads. You really ****ed me off.
