Should be forced to place in OT @ 200% before involuntary JA. JA should be 300% with right of refusal.

JA should be removed from the contract completely. That's what reserves are supposed to be for.

Agreed. We didnt even have JAs at the regional. Or reflows outside of footprint. It was a hard stop. We need that.

Everything Lew said. And they can go back to calling at home for JAs instead of grabbing dudes off the line. That was just another screw job from King Karl if I remember correctly. Or as was just said, get rid of it all together. With proper rigs, someone will always take it. And they can cancel any other flights they can't figure out how to cover due to INEPTITUDE.

Unfortunately, the yessies will have the day when it comes. I promise right now there will NEVER be anything presented that I will vote yes on. Ever.

Those hangars are big enough for 787s.

I think there should be an opt in/out option for JAs. There’s plenty of people that would opt in to cover their scheduling debacles and whoever is opted out can live in peace.

If things go to plan though, you will have about 2500 new people coming in the next 12-14 months that have most likely all left crappy contracts and want something top tier for once.

Completely agree. Put a checkbox in CWA to opt in or out.

Or, make a selection in CWA that says if I am assigned a JA, it automatically is put in giveaway (with correct pay reflected) and text alerts sent out to interested bidders. It'll be gone almost every time by the time you land. You'll never even know you were assigned.

Our tech debt and the clear apathy to make things better is preventing tech solutions from solving simple problems.

Crap contracts maybe, but not crap pay with the new/temp scales and bonuses. We don’t need an Alaska TA. Since probationary pilots will be allowed to vote it’s imperative that they get schooled.

Every time I hear someone say "Well we don't want to kill the golden goose" regarding asking stuff - a puppy gets punted off a bridge ....
