There are two reasons to complain about being pulled off your line. One is about the schmuck who had the horsepower to steal your trip, and the other is what you did after. Either if it got you sat for days, or you ended up in a less than pleasant place. I wasn't happy about being pulled from my HNL flights and put on the painful 7 hour sits in SJU, but it got me paid more. Actually it was one of the few times I ever knew what my line really was. Was looking forward to weekends in HNL.

Bottom line.. if you are senior you can bid the above guarantee lines.. if you can't.. you will get whats left... Lets see how it really plays out over the next year before making any real judgements.
And yes DC8... it felt like we were getting paid in the rear....

Angry? NO...I find it hilarious.... Three times in the past couple years I have been removed from a trip so someone could "get back on their line".....
As I said... its not as easy as it sounds...lets re-evalute in a 9-12 months to see how well they are doing.

We also just got the first indication going above guarantee will be difficult going forward. Staying on our lines will be a bad thing for the paycheck. Granted it may take a while for them to get staffing to the point where we actually will stay on our lines, but doing so will be a big pay hit.

For about the same coverage as me her company's plan was $326 bi-weekly on a $45000 yearly salary, mine $50 on $180,000+. Which do you think is "significant"?????
