I’m happy our Union is taking this opportunity to address QOL. We need it worse than we need the money.

Min day or trip rig isn’t QOL, that’s soft pay. It’s possible that if they fixed those issues, the company might be forced to improve days off or more efficient schedules (QOL).
Soft pay is one reason why even if hourly rates were matched, PSA would still make way more and no one would come here...and AAG would come back to the table.

We all knew (thanks to you telling us) you were better than PDT. But now you’re better than mainline? Were exactly do you work?
Are you trolling or just a that much of a Richard?

You did not quote that. True.
However, you have made numerous references to how everyone here must have skeletons in closet and other inferences to your superiority to us. Even before coming here. Which is why you rubbed so many people to wrong way.
Apparently also AA hires anyone with a pulse. So you are superior to them too...

Thank you.
Thank you.

As we all know, it's a small industry, and any some what savy person does their research and talks to their friends and colleagues. PDT is not exactly cream of the crop in terms of regionals. The best thing PDT is known for is its solid flight crew group of people - let's not lose that when the company clearly has everything to lose in the current situation that's unfolding.

If you owned a company that did work on the road, would you consider your workers asking to work four 10 HR. days versus five 8 hour days a reach? There would be one fewer hotel stay, and less time spent in the rooms and more on the job. Is that really a reach? No. It's good business. Piedmont is light years behind in scheduling training, and work periods. More efficient schedules helps both parties.
Unreal.
