The real problem is the people picking up standups and locals for that 15%. Really? An extra $25? I see a whole lot of crew posted pairings with a lot more than that on them that just sit there. How about we start looking out for each other first instead of enabling the company to keep the staffing levels so horrendous.

There are those that gripe, and then there are the other ones looking out for themselves that somehow were excited about the extra 15%.

Just last night I picked up 2 bjx local/2days from other crewmembers. Screw CS.

We get so upset with what the company is doing but don't do anything to help us out as a whole. The company knows that we are not united because they pay SAPA to keep us that way. So everyone looks out for themselves and then wonders why we can't get anything to change.
I never pick-up Open Time and if I want to do more flying, I pick it up from other crew members. And I never take the extra money offered. It makes me sick that people have to add money to get time off and it is a joke that we are awarded 90+ hours when you have more reserves in ORD on the E175 that you have for all the other CRJ base COMBINED!! I have an idea. If you want to pick up extra DTW flying, then do it in the E175 since they have the staff.

Hopefully a good portion of the 130 CRJ FOs still shown as in training will be online pretty soon.
