I didn't even think about that! That's probably the sole reason that they would not hindsight anyone's trips ever again, never mind that it was completely outside the contract.

I personally made out with hindsight. I had many trips just disappear and the ones that remained were usually commutable, low block, and long overnights. I am not one to bid lines with any intent of flying that line, so it aligned perfectly with my outlook on flying at SWA, which is to say I want to work the minimum amount for the most pay. Somewhere the effort and pay lines meet on a graph and it is very low for me in general. I get why some senior guys were mad that junior guys got trips pulled for pay and they had to fly some of their trips, but SWA was making cuts like flying was never going to come back and we all know how that ended up a year later.

no you wouldn't. They would call it a new schedule and LCO would not apply. Since there is nothing in the contract we would grieve it and 3 yrs later get nothing.
Hows that triple xmas time negotiations going?
Yeah I haven't heard a peep about it.

I just paid someone to do mine. $6k, they finished in 2 days and I didn't have to climb a 30' tall ladder in the wind.

Once the trip is on your board, ANY change triggers LCO. It's black and white and there's nothing to argue. I've already been paid over 40 for a RSV trip that was assigned and replaced after I already self-notified. Entire second trip paid LCO. Took some prodding for payroll to agree, but this was back in Feb right after the cba change and they were clueless. It'd be a cash cow for us now, especially since you can now fly over CX bars.

No way they'd try that now...we'd bankrupt them.

This was the interior minus the kitchen cabinets which I am clearly underqullaifed to do. Saved me around 10 grand and kept me occupied. Back then I had more time than money. Not the case now.

As it would have it, I personally know of two guys who no longer fly do to injuries sustained or problems initiated while falling off ladders. I never get above the third step anymore.

That’s different. I’ll do interior painting myself…they wanted $7k to paint my basement when we did the reno and I laughed and did it myself.
