You're obviously not a FedEx Airbus pilot. If you were, you'd know that we don't get charters like that, ever.

Ooh, a great pm out and back extra to Des Moines came up. Whoopee!

A charter sits in open time 6 hrs, frozen, with probably 100 guys circling like sharks around the USS Indianapolis, and the guy who gets it is the one who absolutely sets off every alarm on the crew force, who happens to be on a trip and incommunicado until trip is unfrozen.

It boggles the mind.

Exactly. I know I was hammering that trip every 10 seconds, or as fast as you can cycle trip trades on FxCal. I know a bunch of other people who were doing it as well. And then - BING! - that trip got away.

And who did it go to? YGBSM. The worst possible offender. Really? The best charter? Again?

That's unpossible.

Yes, that is the same a-ole who continues to steal charter trips and eff-over the rest of the pilot group month-after-month. But we must also not forget the other members of the wolf pack who are so gutless they have to hide behind block calendars while they pilfer the best trips. Just look at the trip he's currently on. You'll see that all three crew members are three of the worst offenders. How did all three of them pick up the same trip? They are all currently hanging out together in CGN laughing at us, as they read this thread, at how they can purloin these trips and the company won't effectively stop it. Meanwhile, so many of us in the trenches continue to do night hub-turns.

Not on the MD11, but what does ALPA Pro standards say about this? Has ALPA done any investigation? I would think this somehow goes against the ALPA code of ethics?

Wasn't sure what to think about all of this until I looked at the unblocked one's calendar. Wow! Grabbing an XTRA or CHTR isn't impossible but every single month and then cleaning off all the awarded flying so that nothing but the good-deal stuff remains?

Print what you have, document it. Give it to ALPA and management.
