I usually am in complete agreement with what you write. This is false, NAZI's were fascist, not socialist. Even Trump knows this. Look at his statement from yesterday.

To be fair, the Nazi party was officially the “National Socialist German Workers’ Party” but they weren’t socialist in the Marxist/communist sort of way we think of socialism today.

I clearly do not want it bad enough. I AM NOT WILLING TO LIVE MY LIFE LIKE THAT. Others are willing to give their life, and soul to FLICA and the refresh. Yes let's spend money in section 6 on what? Telling others they are to fast when picking up trips on FLICA. That sounds like money well spent? We have way bigger fish to fry than act like children where one kids ice cream cone is bigger than the other.
I don't know the best answer, it can't be all seniority, and it can't be like it is now where the IT geniuses/flica refreshers/bot boys and cartels get 99.99% of all the awards. Maybe the award goes to lowest credit among those who responded within 120 seconds from the alert going out. Maybe highest seniority among those who responded within 120 seconds from alert going out. But not the current system. Something has to neutralize the IT geniuses/flica refreshers/bot boys and cartels. |

If we end up with pilots on furlough, do you think these individuals that repeatedly manage to be the 1st one to pick up a trip are going to stop? If we had hundreds of guys on the street they would still be trying to credit 200 hours a month. And they must be incredibly fast if they are winning the Flica race and crediting 150 to 200 hours when other pilots are trying and can’t pick up one trip. Even if bots aren’t being used (Which I find hard to believe since apparently a few people are consistently getting the trips) why not change the system to make it more balanced? And I’m not even sure we have to wait to for the next contract to get the change. It’s a simple change that doesn’t cost the company anything. In times of change many things are possible. Just like the fact that London slots or LAX gates might now become available to JetBlue, a simple change in a computer program might be available to JetBlue pilots.

How flica trips are awarded does not matter to the company, they just want the trips covered. This can be changed in Section 6 with essentially ZERO negotiating capital being used.

It should be as fair as can be and I’m not sure it is. I definitely don’t buy guys hitting refresh all the time and oh they always get the trips. |

If Jordan, Gretzky, and Brady keep winning you know something is wrong.
These guys/gals have committed so much time and resources to being good at the “game” that’s why they keep getting trips. I’ve seen one of the alleged guilty walk around with his laptop open in the terminal, the bus, etc. I don’t like it either but don’t whine. Figure out a way to get better. |
