Stop it … there’s a big difference in taking flights so they don’t cancel and asking for another round of concessions.

So sorry my talk to text isn’t up to your standards. You obviously knew what I meant.

What a disgusting show, watching these contortions. Just be honest with yourselves, you are company men and whres. You don’t even have the meager union brotherhoodliness god gave a goat.

The worthless justification that you use to enrich yourself is the same line of thinking that leads to strikes being broken. Stepping on the necks of your union brothers and patting yourself on the back?

I am so thankful you are where you are. I can’t wait to see you company men eager to lap up the next pay cut to “save the company” so that the next round of furloughs has a company to come back to.

Ah, yes. The B scale.

I thought he meant hire pilots that would be paid lower on the pay scale since they’ll be NHs

Nobody here is saying anything about taking concessions or pay cuts. We are talking about picking up trips to help save cancellations.

Has it ever occurred to you that cancelations are what motivates mgmt to bring back your fellow pilots? When you help out and cancelations stop, then what happens with the furloughees?

It's moot now since they announced recalls, but before that announcement, it was ****ty to do that. The whole point of not picking up trips is to force mgmt to start canceling flights, because that's the motivation to bring furloughees back. If mgmt sees that they can get by with only the pilots on property and can depend on them to pick up flights, why would they bring on more expense? Do you really think a recall would happen if flights were not being canceled or has the potential to be canceled? Why, because they just love pilots?

I want to believe that majority(more than 50%) of NK pilots understand this, which could be why flights were still being canceled even if some pilots were "helping out".

But keep justifying your actions.

As I said, the recall is happening so it's moot now.

I honestly think the premium trips helped get us called back. These top pay scale captains come on here saying they credited 170 hours in a month. That's a 60k-70k month...us furloughed guys are on year 2-3 pay...

That's a factor too.

Airlines balance the financial pain of massive premium to clean up occasional staffing-aggravated meltdowns, versus the ongoing cost of maintaining higher staffing levels. They shoot for a sweet spot.
