I am a bit puzzled about this discussion on the no fly lists. There are only two pilots I can think of whose names get passed around to everyone for being complete jerks in the cockpit. There are scores of more people who get on no fly lists simply because they do not share the same sense of humor, or have a personality conflict. By no means should those scenarios be used to base your own no fly list on.
Also keep in mind, if you use no fly lists, you may lose out on a good schedule. Check your PBS results, it will tell you how many lines were filtered out due to your "no fly list"

I got a top 5 list from several captains who used to fly with these guys as FOs. It's the same 5 all the time (in PHX). I decided to give each a chance. Of the ones I've flown with they definitely should be on most people's. They are a holes. A couple are just not good pilots or lack decent situational awareness. Or they insist their "technique" (even if it's nonstandard) is the only way to fly and make you fly that way. I get along with most of them though. I don't keep a no fly list in my bid but I drop/swap trips with some of them if I can.

Same here I rather get the best schedule I can get then swap out of it later.

Since when does scheduling get to notify us via email? No thanks, I'll wait for the phone call...

Anyone else notice that they no longer are listing people who resigned from the rosters? Things must be getting bad if they are trying to hide how many people are leaving.
I have to agree, they can't find enough people to replace those leaving, AND for growth that they want... Perhaps we are the next RAH...

I wonder if they're going to pull a page from Republic and try to LOA a new pay scale.

Well, I think the pilot group as a whole have resigned themselves to the idea of getting out asap, rather than waiting for the management or even our Union(same thing) to get competitive with pilot compensation. Only a few of us with zero 121 time were able to snag a fast upgrade. You're money ahead going elsewhere starting close to 40$. They are going to have to do something soon before the bleeding gets bad.

I'm thinking they'll try a new hire bonus before getting to that point.
