I have plenty of friends at these other carriers, and I'm well aware of the garbage. appreciate the message though sometimes we lose sight of the goal.
Oh and just a minor correction, the part about days off is detrimental to selling skw ppm, as 11 days off is not only ok, it's the norm for the bottom lineholders in ord/msp/dtw

I never understood the rationale behind user time increasing with years of service. Do years of service have anything to do with how much someone is sick, has a family emergency, or misses a commute?
Vacation time is obviously a different animal all together. Vacation time accrual rate rightly does increase with years of service.

Not that I doubt you, it used to be possible in Denver a few years ago, but there's just not that kind of good pairings in crj anymore. Few and far between

I guess I was wrong, I had an 8 day stretch with 15 days off for the month. One of the trips was with a check airman so I got displaced and ended up with 18

I have been at OO a couple months shy of two years, currently about 40% in a west coast base. I have no problem getting five day+ blocks, some weekends if I want them included. This month I have six days off with Memorial Day weekend in the middle. Started the month with a five day block.
It's a good life, can't complain-it's just how you bid.

Any one know how many more 175s are coming online this year and for which partners and where they will be based?

We are getting more 200s though. Sounds like they'll be based in DTW and flying there and ATL.

You'll see on a bad month or a short staffed month that it doesn't matter what you bid. you're working what they say, and when someone junior to you gets that 30 hr HLN or that 28 hour 4 day that you wanted with absolutely no reason why you didn't get it, you'll understand.
oh and for whoever mentioned usertime, we accrue at the same exact rate as any other company employee. Which sounds nice and fair you say yeah? Except we accrue based on credit hours, meanwhile CS and any other HQ person gets it for 40 hours a week, not 90 a month

No argument-we should tell our reps we want improvement in our next contract..........

Since you said bottom line holders get 11 days off in DTW, compared to a M-F 40 hour laborer, they still get 36 more days off per year. Over a month more time away from work over the course of a year.
Plus pilots have the option to drop trips. Sometimes that isn't going to work out, but I am pretty sure crew support can't say, yeah I will just try dropping these days. And I am pretty sure that crew support does not get displaced for IOE.
I have bad news for you. Life ain't fair.
