And just to be clear I do not work at Spirit, I am not calling for a job action, and I do not support job actions. There should be no collusion, planning, plotting, group think, or concerted effort; withdrawal of enthusiasm is a real threat if they can prove it.

But it is up to us to mentor the next generation and give them both sides of the story before they taint themselves.

I also do not support list making and retribution, maxxxing your schedule with fellow pilots is not illegal just morally bankrupt and depraved. It doesn’t seem to concern those that undertake it, so all we can hope for is natural karma

That’s not how it works. They aren’t furloughed and recalled based on pilots picking up too much open time or not picking open time up. Any amount that becomes leverage becomes a work action.

Agree. Maxing out schedule is poor form and bragging about it is distasteful. Again though, one month max out and 3 months drop to minimum. That’s the context that ultimately matters. Not to mention it really doesn’t affect that grand scheme of things unless it’s a work action size that creates leverage, and that is illegal. I certainly agree, that looking out for yourself only and maximizing your own gains while others are on the street is distasteful.

Your Opinion: A Pilot who picks up open time with pilots on furlough, regardless of the broader context of that pilots schedule, is always shameful.

Notice how your judgment/opinion is based on your Assumption? You don’t even realize you’re making an assumption, that is extremely common with people who have heated opinions. Without your assumption, your opinion falls away.

….thats not an assumption.The funny thing is you made the assumption.

Also Jdub 2 nailed it. Nice job Jdub2
