Now why do I feel we had this argument on BP.

That goes too far. Yes, the 10 sandwich club may only get 5 sandwiches now, but it's still better to be senior.

I will agree the 75% OE pairings is terrible.

I think global open time and the premium would bet better for the overall group vs the VDA.
Hmm double pay for a trip along with a paper DH potentially paying 20 hours on a day turn or... global open time. Tough choice. Another win for ALPA!

B6ALPA wins so much I am honestly sick of winning so much.

The one thing that I really don’t like about the VDA process, are the constant phone calls in the middle of the night...so hopefully the premium open-time will mean more pilots that are rested. Flew a day trip last week with an early show with someone on VDA. They called him three times throughout the night, starting at midnight before he finally answered.

They do have a thing called DO NOT DISTURB... its a great iPhone feature. IDK about you but I enjoy getting called to go work for double. Who the hell wants to work for straight pay? I am so tired of hearing people ***** about getting called to go work for double pay.

So many complaints, yet SO MUCH money to be made. Funny how the whining is only on APC. Zero in the cockpits I have been a part of.

Yeah who doesn’t love offering to work for double pay and then sitting around effectively on reserve hoping they might call you... even at 11:55pm for a delayed departure at 2am. All good! It’s double !

Me, I’d rather find a trip tonight at 8pm operating tomorrow early, you know be able to plan my evening and day tomorrow for 150%. Why? Because I don’t like rolling the dice being a rube hoping they call me for some 2am STI turn.

Yes I will complain if you get zero sleep and are missing radio calls and a general hazard in the flight deck....I don’t care how much this VDA trip pays. Also I average a few VDAs per month, so you’re barking up the wrong tree pal.

I can’t control the phone settings of my fellow crewmembers.
