The Railway Labor Act should be a target for amendment. It boggles the mind why its repeal / replacement is not on anyone`s agenda. Time for a change ? Sure it is.

Our problem sure is with our associated companies. Contract negotiations and pay scales have never been linked to wether the Republicans or Democrats were in charged but instead to the economy, mainly supply and demand for our craft and the number of available bodies to fill the seats.

With all the required flying on days off ......its starting to set the company up for a status quo violation that caused the strike at ABX. The last earnings call they said the pilot shortage is starting to hit, then later said there are plenty of resumes on file. If that is the case then why are pilots still quitting in record numbers and why could abx not fill the last class? What was it 4 pilots backed out of class?

Jr Manning was not the reason for the strike as its allowed in our CBA.
People are leaving all the ACMI carriers as the majors are hiring. Our last class did not go unfilled. Go troll somewhere else.

I've watched that 167 times and it keeps getting funnier every single time!

So your happy the contract allows the company to work you as many days as they want?

So how many were in the last class?
3

How many dropped out before class?
2, 3, 4?

How many did they Want in class?
4

How many thousands of pilots in the USA and they can't fill a class of 4?

That was well worth the visit! Thanks. Funny as heck

hum...no...K4 has had exactly 1 resignation in the past 12 months...

Because the contract allows it does not mean you have too. The ones being JRM'd are allowing it to happen for premium pay and days back. Once the ball starts rolling everyday worked is premium and you can still take the days off you want. Many crewmembers never even filled all D6 requirements for the extra day in 2016 or 2017. Just need to be creative and work when you want. It only happens if you let it!
