They’re basically paying people 67 trips (ExTO + VA + NEC) to stay home on ExTO. I’m getting 88 to work. I’m not voting to cut that 88 to closer to 67. If I wanted to get paid 67 I’d have stayed home.
No concessions from me. They can fire half of the VP’s if they want to save money.

Anyway....talked to the CP on call at the NOC today. As far as VSP/ExTO:
- They are surprised at the number of pilots that submitted requests last minute and are feeling comfortable that they have enough voluntary leaves and early outs to not trigger any involuntary actions.
- The ratio of VSP to ExTO is better than a third and closer to a half, so that’s fantastic news if true.
