Don’t worry. We are getting furloughed. We have tons of guys fighting over trips with 3 legs. 5.5 hour sits between all legs and dh home on a motorbike from JFK while it’s raining. Wonder how many guys are making 50k this month? Pretty silly to think that people took 50 hour lines to sit at home when they could have just sat at home for 75. Nice work boys. Wonder how many people are going to make 50-60k a month when 1500 are on the street?

I was literally hitting refresh for 20 minutes, got lucky and something popped in. Added immediately and still somehow missed out to another crew member. I don’t even know how that’s possible.

You’re wasting valuable milliseconds hitting the refresh button. Also wait on the Submit page not the open-time page if you’re not already.

My 75 hour is now at 47 after three straight OOPs. it is what it is. Because 2-3 leg commutes off line only, 24 hours prior, to have a flight cancel 6 hrs before show time just isn’t working.

Good tip lol. I think I literally got beat by milliseconds. I don’t spend much time on Flica, but I am trying to pick up something. Our system sucks. It’s virtually impossible to pick up now. I’m trying to put a few extra dollars away for looming furlough.

I am currently 4/67 this month on approved/denied. I spent a lot of time on FLICA. I've been beat by milliseconds on most of them.

Lol no problem. You can also submit a request when the trip is showing black. Just hard to know the details of the trip, but if you really don’t care....

It’s the same few names for almost every trip JFK 320 FO. Including those that have been in trouble for Flica issues before..

just got to catch them while they are flying and turn them in for lying and cheating the system. Hopefully they will be fired if they are using bots.... just terrible how low some people will go to cheat their union brothers/sisters.
