Some are even having to get off their perches and fly. Not to any place that requires isolation of course. Or a single night away from home for that matter. That’s for schmucks!

What’s the going Schmuck rate to fly extra these days. 150%, 200%, maybe 300% - will that cover it? Or have y’all not hit that “Buy it Now” Schmuck rate? Schmuck is such a good word…

”BEGGING” never gets it done, proper Schmuck rate always does whatever that might be. Ball’s in whose court?

If you are in one of those fleets, the proof is the email in your inbox.

Perhaps you are not in one of those fleets, or you have not checked your email lately.

Further proof might be multiple calls from crew scheduling drafting over the last 3 days.

Just found the email. Wow. I wrote back that it was a very insulting email. Talk about totally ****ing off the crew force. The top of the email has, $$$$$$ on it. My respect for the MD11 fleet captain is gone. What this does show, we are having an impact.

It doesn't do anything but show the company that they'll need more MEM HSTBY lines for next December.

Do you know why they write the emails?

Because they work.

They know we have a percentage that will bend over backwards.

Some may say No but many continue to say yes.

Just watch OT on the MD and 777.

It gets picked up.

Just saying.

BZ! Well done. I hope everyone does the same as you. What a BS insulting email. I hope those “helpers” see they are being played.

So are they bending backwards by just volunteering to help out OR are these “helpers” being paid vs played or both? Totally see your point and even if they are being paid “Schmuck rates” it could be the focus on piling it on before retirement in a year or two, etc. OR did I miss the point they are not being paid and just helping out? (Not discussing the Fleet Captain request)

Just answering “Yes, to the end point!” will suffice. Thx.
