I like how off topic this whole threat has spread. Management has done well!

So anyways…. Are you doing anything about your lift that’s been given to another carrier?

Unsure when, but I may have imagined these wet lease runs were for specifically in and out of Asia. Turns out, while predominantly Asia there are quite a few runs into Europe aside from the occasional SJU, ONT, HNL runs which were normal peak runs during the short periods of years before. Will see if this morphs into anything interesting, granted this may be the setup as y’all grow. Like you we have had other entities within our ranks from time to time, maybe even now. Your contract has got to be stronger than ours so this has been really odd.

Management loves pilots like this and you. They ruin your QOL for extra money. You get addicted to it. Meanwhile, they come to the table after all of the kudos and want concessions. And there will be some carrot dangled in front of y'all which will make you fall for you.

I had a couple good years pre-covid and not during negotiations while living in domicile. Life changed and I moved out of domicile. Family is happier because of it also. Now I just fly my line and enjoy my time of. Mostly on the lake drinking beers or running my side business.

You act like these guys are not voluntarily doing the extra flying or begging for the revisions with the notes of "will extend" on their pairing. Give me a break, all those making the extra money are doing it by themselves not being forced to do it.

Why do you feel the need to argue with me? Sure, there are some pilots going above and beyond during this time of negotiations. But the company is getting things done by extending a lot of pilots and multiple leg flights into and out of the hubs. I was just in Memphis last week and heard an entire group of pilots complaining about it. They are tired. I'm tired.

Ha, and you were just on here last year bragging about your W2s. Go tell your bs to someone else.

Just watch Indy open time. When the Indy base is short of reserves (all the time on the Captain side) any 767 MEM or OAK Captain turning thru Indy is ripe for revision. Some of those revisions look super fatiguing and more often than not the trip is extended into days off.

He can brag all he wants but his W2 doesn't say FedEx anywhere on it.

Because you a wrong. Everyone I have talked to making extra money is volunteering for it. Involuntary extensions are the abnormal not the normal. Volunteer extensions, draft, ava, vbb is the normal. At least frame it truthfully.

The company has committed sins but this isn't one of them.

So you know everyone’s schedule? Wish I was that good. I’m tired of slaving away so have personally decided to enjoy my family instead of working for company profits. Until late next year at least. NWAP I know you are a pilot. You were hired spring 2016. Won’t get more in depth than that. But your tact is lacking. Try being a team player.

Are you on the MD? Involuntary extensions ARE the normal. If it isn't the added standbys in KIX or CAN, then something has fallen apart enroute to ANC!

I really wish I could be who you think I am, but that I cannot be. I actually try to post truth on this site. Not conjecture or partial facts. I know that doesn’t fit in with most of the notorious posters. I will continue to paint a realistic picture and not bs.
