I find it rather ironic that one of the most outspoken people about picking up premium during negotiations last time has become one of the biggest (and shortest) premiums *****s this time.

it’s all the cadets flying to build hours to go to United. That and reserves picking up. Terrible idea.

You know bots exist when the usual premium fliers can’t get them at the same clip they once did. Guys are fast on Flica, absolutely no doubt about it. And it’s easy to snag premium if you know how to look and the secret to get it quickly. But sadly you can’t beat a computer. The fun has been ruined

Yep... Most people in the base tradeboards are trying to pick up anything no matter the trip just to get their block time to move on. It sucks for anyone who is trying to just swap trips and get their good QOL.

BB Says "Our pilots make as much as the legacies" yeah, we do, when we constantly work over 82hrs and credit a lot from having less days off or premium, but credit for credit, we lose big.

You're probably right but even in the other seat a garbage weekend redeye spends very little time in the pot before being snatched up. Seems like most lines in January were built to <75 hours so people that build their monthly budget on crediting more are struggling to get there. This problem is always exacerbated in the slow months, it'll be different come summer.

Anyone else hearing about this? Apparently the bots were the reason for the FLICA outage we had a few weeks ago and even some ongoing issues with latency and notifications. CAE is threatening to release Frontier as a customer unless something is done about it so the company and union are discussing options.

Permanent FLICA bans, unpaid LOAs, and even termination are on the table depending on how egregious someone’s bot usage is/was. The company has access to everything on FLICA including number of requests sent so I guess it will be pretty easy pickings to find those responsible for the FLICA crashes. There's already a list of offenders and it's just a matter of time before they start dishing out punishments.

Amen. Hypocrite. He also wanted domicile protections on premium and does that as well. Thats getting fixed. Nk seems to have this figured out so I’m expecting something similar.
