The company was gonna take the reins on this CBA or no CBA.

What could possibly go wrong with a 8:40 hr block 4leg east coast day?

 

*5 leg

......

 

This is comical too. How do they think they’re gonna fit 5 legs into a 12.5hr day or less?

October is gonna be an epic irop of biblical proportions without a cloud in the sky.

 

You got that right. Glad I have vacation.

I’m guessing something like BOS-JFK-IAD-JFK-BUF-BOS. What could go wrong with that??

 

Wait until the LGB and MCO boys and girls see their pairings....

 

I would love this! I’ll get paid to not fly more than usual. Good thing I have my emergency assignments all filled up!

 

You know they will max everything out with very little buffers so they can hire as little as possible. Heck this month I had 3 reserve assignments that will not be legal on September 1st. There is no way they won’t f this up and yet nobody will be held responsible.

 

Hmmm. We had this neat thing negotiated, called a CBA. You'd think they would have maybe addressed this issue with some industry standard (some have, some don't) language, like pilots will CONTINUE to build the pairings - just like they have been.

Ya know, when all this "Industry leading pairing language" malarky was being thrown irresponsibly around, I pretty much assumed it meant that we were re-assuming the responsibility of building the pairings ourselves.

Without that ability, the language is meaningless and worthless. Putting extreme outer boundaries on the ********y things ********y people can do to us by treating us like ****** is not exactly something to celebrate as "industry-leading".

AND YES: I did emphasize that pilots building pairings was one of my top priorities in all surveys and communications with reps.

As a life-long union member, I am sorry to say that ALPA totally screwed the pooch on this issue.

 

Name 3 airlines that let pilots build the Pairings. I’ll wait.

Glad I voted No for this horrible contract. 78% are to blame for their RJ mentality and defeatism.
