If Mgt don’t know how that how that works, they shouldn’t be management. It’s IS pretty simple.

I think I hid my shame in my beer mug :-)

I knew I was letting THBoob down as well as legions of mainline pilots who were all emotionally invested in my future

Shame, shame on you. On another note, this place is so much better with TheNutbag banned.

Pay more with also trip duty rigs and pump up company contribution to 401k to start with. As bonus they can open up sju and lax as domiciles to be added with the current ones. For starters.

Yeah, more domiciles for any carrier is unrealistic. And ANY improvements at the ‘Voy is also unrealistic. Just the management attitude could improve and get rid of Todd in scheduling and that would be completely “cost neutral”, but you won’t see that happening.

I know, thats why I/we have nothing to lose shooting for the moon. Im still laughing that envoy mgt can do math when they came up with 500k per month cost to pilots to turn quick trade back on.
f them fly fast get there early but don't leave any earlier than 5 minutes from scheduled time. That's my 500k per month.

that guy is a miserable person.

Block out and wait while you’re on the clock. I’ll gladly take my sweet time(unless it’s go home day) Starring at the clock waiting for D-5 to drop the brake is miserable

get on the clock THEN run check lists and finish up getting ready etc.. I wish more guys worked this way.

I remember someone telling me back in th mid nineties, working at a regional, they were trying for 6% pay increase and they were forced into a 3% increase only. He said you know 5 early and 10 late is 25%.
