When is the grid ever good? How many times have they said no even when it’s a contractual right? I’m not really sure why anyone thinks because we have a new cba that anything will change... it’s laughable... and what’s even more pathetic is the union isn’t even going after monetary damages for grievances filed for the start of the contract... They want to “work with the company” to make sure the contract is implemented properly... they just invite bull$hit...
Get ready to wear hats too.... the company wants that now... it says in section 18, “at the pilots option, a hat may be purchased”... watch the union cave on that one and not get us anything...

Let’s just assume the grid is always bad in the seat and base your in. You can add through aggressive reserve into days off (they can’t say no) You can add on days off (they can’t say no) You can’t add into your next rdp block ( due to the grid always being bad).

That just shows how little you get it... it’s not about hats... it’s in our contract that it’s at our option... it’s a contractual right bargained for... if we give that to the company, then I want something to replace it in return... I want an extra sick day a month, or an extra week of vacation... anything but I’m sure our union will say, “you’re right company... what else can we give you for free?”

LAS base junior FOs! Just curious percentage of red eyes and number of days off per month?
Also, Can you bid mornings to stay away from red eyes (reserve)? I am a morning person and red eyes kill me.
Crash pads in Vegas? Ballpark price?
Sorry for really basic questions, but haven't flown domestically for over 13 years.
Is Vegas a growing base? Upgrade times for LAS?
Happy

Short call RSV RAPs are 10.5 hours starting at 0400, 0800, 1200, 1700 and 1900. So yes, you can bid mornings.

Crash pad run between $200 to $350, from what I've seen.
LAS has not been growing, all of the growth is happening in PHL, and since we are at the 100 crew mark in LAS I don't know if I expect that to change. LAS is very redeye heavy so there is no way, that I can see to avoid them long term.
Good luck, PM if you end up needing crash pad leads.
