The whole thing needs to be revamped. No more 200% in seniority order. That should be evenly distributed across those that want to work 200% trips

I believe the NK CBA already has a solution for that. Jan 1 the X (200%) list calls in seniority order. As you accept trips you go to the bottom of the list. Those with the most amount of 200% credit are in inverse order starting from the bottom allowing all those with none/less credit to be called first.

This would be way better than our current system.

Below is a screen grab of the VDA list



Really this is wrong in so many ways , Seniority is a great system for getting a line and schedule of choice, also for bidding vacations, seat ,equipment and base choices but looks like some people are abusing the system by getting the choice lines and then dropping them and waiting for something else , " almost looks like day trading " this one really senior guy was on flica the whole time , he told me he would drop everything and build it back three or four times. I still dont understand the mechanics of it. But it did seem way out of norm

And here’s the funny thing, those same 20% actually get mad at guys below them for picking up straight time…not kidding.
This. 100% this. Insane how much more money my peers are making at the regional I left. Almost makes it seem like a financially retarded decision to come here when you look at the raw numbers. This system needs to change 1,000%

The Spirit commuter clause line that allows crew scheduling to assign a commuter reserve days is complete garbage and needs to go away. As a lineholder, I'm expected to sit around the airport all day unpaid after I was unsuccessful on 2 attempts so I can get to base to sit reserve for the next 3 days? Ridiculous.

I agree it needs to go away but at least then you’re getting paid.
