You sir are the exact reason we may never get a good contract. You lack the sack.

3 day PHX turn in DFW needs help tonight.

Who is going to take it?

Who is bailing out the company tonight?

Great, you're going to blame it all on me?

You know, I haven't answered the phone for a JA since I started here, but I may just to pi$$ you off. You are doing more harm than good, buddy. We need to cool it with the friendly fire.

No bro, you don't get it! Every cancellation due to lack of crew gets us closer!

You don't upset me if you want to sell yourself to Bendo and Jyri at below market rates, saving their bonuses.

Many of us are tired of "holding the line" and not bail the company out while they insult us at the table. Funny that you see those of us who think every pilot should be accountable for their actions, as being "friendly fire".

It's a simple concept; stop helping the company. It's really the only leverage we have. Every trip covered helps them and only hurts us at the table. You see how much Jyri and Bendo make in bonuses for people helping them?!

You yourself said "More than anything else, is why it will take forever to get a contract. If people would just stop answering their phones on their days off for a week we'd have a TA. But that will never happen, especially with this kind of attitude so rampant here.

DFW 3 day was covered tonight by one of the biggest open time/ gravy suckers in base. Another flight goes out on time.

Being unified and acting as a cohesive unit is what will get us a contract. That, plus time, and the BOD coming to the realization that planes won't move without pilots. All you do by posting names, pairing numbers, etc on this forum where most of the culprits won't even see them, but management can read and have a chuckle on the toilet, is divide the group further and give management even more reason not to pay us. Have a little more patience, act like a grown up. The death throes are already starting.

Emphasis added...yep, planes don't move without pilots.
Yet another Bendover/ Jurinal hero came to the rescue tonight.

So tell us again, who is slowing things down? Those calling people out for sucking down gravy, or the ACTUALLY sucking down gravy on the backs of the rest of us? There is no middle ground! You're either with the pilot group or you're with our (lack of) management.

You know as well as I do that a few cancellations here and there won't do anything. It won't be until they are way behind the 8 ball with systemic cancellations due to lack of qualified applicants to fill the right seat for $38/hr that they will come to the table with a real offer.
