*Puts in a swap, swapping a four day for two two days over the same footprint.*
CS: Denied
I call, “You cannot swap four day trips for anything other than four or five day trips.”
“Yes, you can, as long there is a reserve coverage for LCR4, and in this case it supports it.”
CS, “No, you can’t, it will be denied every time.”
Good luck. Not only do the pairings suck more than ever, the company refuses to use the ALPA set, we also have incompetent schedulers who appear to enjoy misinterpreting their own rules.

So tired of this crap. I don't even try to swap/trade that often but it always gets denied. Also incredibly frustrating that there's premium open time sitting there and I can't touch it because I have a scheduled trip yet some senior guy with weekends off can pick it up without issue.
I also went backwards in seniority this month in base as an FO. If I didn't feel like we're on the verge of a recession I'd be trying to jump ship. Friends at DL/UA are only moving onward and upwards quickly, while I'm still getting BS weekend redeyes and losing seniority.

In my first year at Spirit and am in my first year. The seniority list integration (assuming the merger goes through) makes me really nervous about long upgrade times.

Check back in a month. We currently have a vacancy bid open that is closing the JFK 190 base and opening JFK 220 base. We have another bid opening Aug 1 with annual vacancies and will likely cause a lot of movement too. By mid August we should have a better picture what things will look like for 2024 at least

Just saw a sign on the back of a Kwik Trip truck (the gas station). Says "Join our team". Says "40% profit sharing"...
Even gas station attendants get profit sharing... And every major airline pilot in our peer set. But not Blue pilots.
