They did the exact same thing the last 2 summers in a row. I'm sorry that you are put in this position. I'm willing to bet classes will start again September at the latest.

What’s crazy is, a lot of premium trips have been dumping into the folder. A lot of MCO and PHL ironically enough. Overstaffed?

I’ve been wondering the same thing. It’s been happening daily.

Vja and ja were pretty common In the previous agreement. That was before a northeast base. Doesn’t mean we’re understaffed. It’s pretty clear we’re fat on pilots right now. There were 96 lines system wide built under 75 in April. That translates to 100’s if not over 1000 hrs of soft time. That’s without ANY rig factored in.

I agree. I do not think that a few premium trips indicate any understaffing at all.

I need to grab my iPad and read the contract, but I believe it's set up to create a lot of premium trips. Anything that falls into open time after reserves are assigned trips following aggressive reserve goes into premium, right?

I remember thinking, while reading the TA, that we should see a fair amount of trips drop into the premium folder.

And unless reserves are flying more than 50 or 60 hours a month, we ain't under staffed

I’m at 27 hours of credit EXcluding any credit accumulated by flying on my days off. Exactly halfway through my reserve days this month.

On track for 54 credit. Denver reserve captain. Short call. Mornings.

Correct. That didn’t change. The new agreement just eliminated 1.25% and made it a free for all on the 1.5%. Basically relieved crew scheduling from having to make a bunch of phone calls. Those phone calls were a major driver of disputes as they tended to make mistakes frequently. Some mistakes were due to lack of contractual knowledge and some due to the language itself (gray areas). IMO it’s better now that we took crew scheduling out of the loop on premium. All they can do now is add inc. which is a good thing.
