A United A320 CA would only have to credit about 189 hours to our 300+ to get the same paycheck. That isn't including retirement and other benefits. The point is that he is an outlier. None of us should have to kill ourselves (with what I can only assume was a fatiguing schedule) during vacation months to make up for the difference in compensation in all of the other months.

That is interesting logic. So, you are sitting in the "waiting room" on the 28th of the month in order to pick open time at straight pay as the lowest paid pilot in the business. However, you call a fellow co-worker "selfish" and "self serving" simply picking up a premium trip in order to make up for some lost ground in terms of industry standard pay. I think your line of thinking is quite vacuous. I'll hold out to be paid what we are worth, thank you!

You couldn’t just let this thread that has all the makings of a Spirit TRO redux die. I copied and edited a post of yours from another thread, hoping you’d take your own advice...

Doesn’t it seem very opportune to everybody that we are a tad understaffed, and incentives are going out left and right? Heck they’re giving rediculous incentives. Of course somebody is going to do a turn for 20 hrs. They want people to pick it up and they want it to be visible. It’s bait! Just like this thread starting the day we requested the NMB to advance us along our RLA path. It’s too convenient. Just laugh it off that the company is paying a Captain 300 hours, if I could do it, I would, and everyone knows how I feel about this group of greedy SOB management/ownership. They’ve been stealing money out of my pocket ever since I started working here. Thankfully that will soon be over with. First rule is get the group to devide and turn against each other. Take a deep breath, and wait for the process to develop. We are probably going to be dealing with this all summer waiting for the NMB. The union leadership has been very clear about keeping on doing as you have been all along. So as I said before, there is going to be nothing interesting coming from this thread. Let it die.
In fact I have a challenge. Do not post anything else on this thread unless you are a company troll.

No where did I imply anyone to NOT pickup VJA’s. But, 300+ hours by one individual is a bit excessive, self serving, and selfish. Do you not see this? You are the one that needs to grow up!

I never said or implied anyone to not pickup VJA’s. Only pointing out one individuals “work ethic”. Stay home or pickup I don’t care. It doesn’t matter what your stance is on that issue and mine isn’t implying a TRO. BUH BYE!
