I haven't heard that, but I know of quite a few people waiting in line to be LCA's.

I read the email. Does the 200% only apply if you haven't picked up anything yet? I picked up a critical trip after the final award, but the email sounds like I'll only get 150% since I already picked it up.

I'm no lawyer but the way I read it is that critical coverage days will pay 2.0 from Dec 20 - Jan 4. I don't read any language that wouldn't cover a critical trip already committed to in FCFS with a loss of days off. What are you reading that would lead you to that conclusion?

Bullet point #1 "...Bidding for said open time shall begin as of the date of this agreement..."

So no extra money if you already picked it up. That is how I read it.

Possibly... that would be pretty screwed up.

That's how I interpret it also...

You only get paid 200% if it goes critical. Not just for picking it up. And I promise you they will make it so no one gets paid the 200%. But if you are a big enough sucker, more power to you. That language is as weak as our union.

Did you read that little bit about meeting to discuss neutering the SAP?
Sounds like the union is about to give away SAPing holidays for something "everyone" can enjoy. They can bid off holidays or take vaca, so it's small potatoes to throw the more junior guys under the bus who SAPed it off.

But, but the junior guys only care about flow. Kinda like the rest of the pilot group.

Makes one wonder about the thought process... same work, same critical day, 50% difference in pay.
