Why don’t you ask them to talk to their block reps first??? that would be a start...

I have never flown a disputed pairing. I’m not HKG based, so not sure how I‘d fly the HKG loop pairing.

You’re the one that thinks we’re scared. I’m not, I’d opt out today..

Starting next week the 3 leg CAN-SGN-CKG-SIN sequence does not operate. It has been modified to operate CAN-CKG-SIN (B767) and CAN-SGN-SIN (B757). What fatigue testing software did the TPE transit hotel pairing fail? Are you're referring to SAFTE-FAST? I'm pretty sure you cannot plug information about a transit hotel in the attributes for SAFTE-FAST. The disputed pairings you refer to operate in the April bid month, so no one has flown any disputed pairings.

I just learned this the hard way. I called in sick and didn’t update my first fly status and was assigned a 3 day trip. I had enough leveling that I wouldn’t have been tagged for a trip had I not been first fly. Live and learn I guess, but seems easy enough to prompt a question when marking yourself sick for first fly status.

We should, but history proves that many see no leverage. And, everyone should have been saving 3-4 months of pay up for the coming games. But I would guess that I am in the minority.

Do you think your excuses and behavior will reap rewards in contract 2021? STOP MAKING EXCUSES AND BE A SAFE PILOT.

You seem to have a grasp on many issues, and are engaged. But holy fock, dont be such a condescending SOB. The people you disrespect with your comments have been around the fence before. Don't act like someones grandpa. Just some brotherly advice.
