BUT….

I would not want to lose the ability to pick up out of base because most of us are “one displacement away” from needing to pick up out of base to keep some QOL. Same as selling reserve rules, lots of guys in displaced bases on reserve and never expected that until we had the displacement.

2 things can be true, it hurts my personally but I’m fine with it staying at NK because it helps our pilots and their family life and in the end that means more to me than whoring out for X list like some guys do. Who knows if it stays with JBLU. Time will tell.

Hey, I think you fair points. In the JCBA, I hope we keep some of the things that we’ve come to know and love. Especially bases. You’re right though, only time will tell.

Don’t have to worry about picking out of base when you’re a reserve captain for a bunch of years

Go do your homework, spend a little less time with the jokey boy routine.

Cool your jets, May 5th! I’m just repeating what other people are saying.

and come one. You know you giggle too at my stuff.

Same with JB instructors that are based elsewhere but get to fly out of MCO undermining seniority and making it so MCO is artificially full and magically no Vacancy at the inn.

this is a ridiculous post

You haven’t dealt with the professional flica operators that we have. You’ll see.

Didn’t JetBlue fire some pilots for flica bots once upon a time. I wish spirit would make an example out of someone honestly

the first part of what you said is not what happens in reality.

the second part of what you said, I have never ever heard of a pilot belly ache about that…ever! I have never heard of anybody complain about picking up at a base… well from an actual Spirit pilot.

Only good things to say.

Where were you for the epic LEC 109 meeting? The council had its largest turnout in history trying to pass a resolution to end out of base pickups

lol Epic!? What does that translate to? 10 pilots made it. I couldn’t even tell you what base 109 is or even mine for that matter.

but anyways never heard of this though. So a resolution huh? Like the whole pilot group will get to vote on this?
