Which they’re doing on purpose btw in order to try to build a case for these claims.

This and there is significant inefficiency in the style of point to point flying we're doing these days.

They've also been understaffed on the CA side of things in both MCO and LAS. As a DEN reserve guy, I would estimate at least 1:/2 my assignments begin and/or end with a deadhead to or from MCO or LAS.

Further, even when I'm not deadheading around to cover flying in other domiciles, I'd estimate at least a third of my flying is spent in the passenger compartment versus the left seat.

My message to the Company would be to stop building such inefficient pairings and ...wait for it... efficiency will improve! Seems axiomatic to me, but apparently not readily apparent to those at the puzzle palace.

The bottom line is it doesn’t matter what is said on an online forum. Yes, it could potentially be used as evidence in a case, but that would only happen if pilots stopped picking up at a rate that can be statistically documented.

Guess what, if that documented work slowdown happens with no written documentation (online forums, emails, texts, etc) the company will still get a TRO against the pilots.

This whole system is completely rigged. The ONLY things we have as a pilot group are 1) getting released to self-help (very unlikely) and 2) a no vote if the TA is not up to snuff.

Pickets, billboards, radio ads, and not picking up extra flying all may make us feel good but that doesn’t get us a market contract. I’m not knocking pickets as they do help show unity, but we really only have 2 ways to get a deal we deserve. The rest is a dog and pony show.
