I get transition conflicts pretty regularly, I think we should give back reserve drops or at least "center of reserve block" drops if we can keep transition because that won't affect me personally and it really only applies to 20% of the pilot group anyway.




That's the game we're playing here, right?

That's great but only a select few of our 1600+ pilots can pull off 160 hours a year so the interests of the 20% of us who pad our credit to block ratios with TX drops every month or two must take precedence over those of your insignificant little group. For the greater good your drop the middle day loophole is just gonna have to go.


Damn, I'm really warming to this "it doesn't affect me personally so IDGAF" method of contract negotiations we've stumbled upon in this thread!!! Maybe we can even get some snazzy yellow "Screw Anyone Who Isn't Me, I'm Gonna Get Me Mine" lanyards so nobody forgets it? /sarcasm



How can you miss something you never had in the first place?

ACY is home of the double deadhead to start & end a trip. (For RSVs). Very easy for them to limo us to PHL and DH

Fair enough, I didn’t know that was a regular occurrence for y’all...
