That's it.. exactly.

It shouldn’t be discouraged. Again, I can drop my entire 75 hr line to people on zero time and ride the makeup list to 55 hours. That helps the people making zero. Im on the makeup list most of the time and usually end up with less hours than I’m awarded via PBS. It’s a QOL enhancer.

Part of my original post was that AA needs to allow everyone to freely drop their trips with no Red/Redder restrictions. That would greatly help everyone on both sides.

Agreed, but that will probably never happen as it’s a control thing. That being said, if there are enough takers for zero time lines I’d imagine that it would be easy to post a trip and have it picked up easily.

That's a good point. Luckily we can still pick up from pilots wanting to drop. We're fortunate they didn't lock us out of that the way they did with the MU list.

Seniority isn't something you should have to check a box in order to keep, IMHO. The BOD undermined one of the bedrocks of this industry right from under us, you watch, someone will get screwed by this. A persons seniority is theirs and theirs alone and BOD shouldn't have the power to sell it down the river under any so called circumstances, period.

Hopefully this person you’re worried about is smart enough to check that box. APA is giving people the option of what they want. I guess giving people the option doesn’t make you / some people happy. It made the negotiating team happy enough for a unanimous vote in favor. It’s in plain English and easy to understand. I haven’t ventured over to CNR but if I had to guess the senior people are saying what you are and don’t quite understand it.

Dobbs, by that logic if a senior pilot bids poorly or not at all and then doesn’t like their schedule as much as someone junior they have a valid complaint and it would be the union’s fault. Strange.

The Line is wound up and they’re all shooting from the belt clip cell phone holsters! It’s a train wreck of inaccuracies that’ll make your head explode. Stay away from there at ALL COSTS!! Poor Chris T is on there trying to keep them from a total Chernobyl.

bidding a monthly schedule is way different than getting furloughed...and I am not a senior guy or an old guy, but the idea of whether or not you get furloughed being based on bidding doesn't seem right to me...either you are senior enough to not get furloughed or you are not, there should be no caveats IMHO.
