I say get rid of the makeup banks. If you drop a trip, you drop a trip. If you are removed from a trip -- whatever the reason -- you get paid.

Any trips in Open Time get processed every three hours automatically by the computer (no human). And the trips are awarded by seniority -- the way it should be. None of this "earlier time stamp" crap.

Junior in each seat is beat down enough. Between reserves, new crappy VTO system ect. Senior in the seat especially 777 have tons of carry over, conflict bidding, carry in makeup.
Way to much leaning to the senior. Only way to make being junior livable is with trip trading. I know you only have to be junior once. But some one has to be junior. |
The time stamp method just exasperates "wolf packs" with inside info. Open time should be like baseball's waiver wire, where the last person to pick up a trip has the highest priority.
You shouldn't have to be on your phone 24/7 and submit makeup requests within 30 seconds of a trip dropping to improve your schedule. |

If we got full per diem, that extra $10k, probably more now, would be money in out pockets, tax free!
So, why do we only get a nickel or dime? Because the union does not get 2% of our per diem. Simple as that. So, when you get polled, demand full per diem, since it is tax free, the gain will be quite significant, and the company can write it off anyway. "My" union is supposed to "speak for me", but they need to LISTEN to what I want and then follow through and they don't. |

Agreed. I like it.
Disagree. Trips should be awarded instantly. Seniority counts when you bid. BLAs should be first come/first served. As soon as you hit submit, it should be on your schedule (unless it's illegal). |

Senior guys got to exercise their seniority rights while bidding but YOU had a chance to fix that junior schedule if you were willing to spend the time checking OT. I’m sure folks that are junior would like to have the same ability to improve their schedules.
No thanks. Changing to seniority based trip trading would be very divisive. |

JetBlue is talking about service to London. If they flew into STN you could connect to Ryanair and have all economy service across the pond!*?
