Open time manipulation has been an ongoing issue system wide.
Management admitted it, during a recent groundschool Q and A.
Time to get someone in Miramar to watch over CS.
I will not comment on the 2% pay raise

Vegas had 5 FO's upgrade to captain for the July bid, so I think what you are seeing is 5 lines of flying being dumped into opentine as crew plan awards and schedules these FO's for class.

^^^^^^
This is what I was going to say, but I was beaten to the punch.

Shouldn't be too much longer before LAS is no longer the junior base.

How about we all start saving at least 2% of our pay to prepare for the picket line?

Is it me or does it seem like we're going through another meltdown today?

Is it the lack of FA crews throwing a wrench in everything?

I am sure he thinks he can do a better job, or some 3 yr capt from some regional.
If you want to set negotiations back several years, go ahead and see what happens when you get someone in there that hasn't dealt with this management before.

The seniority list includes over 1000 pilots. Are you saying that the best we can do for negotiators is the three proven losers we have now?

The Chair and Vice Chair gave away premium pay, wrote automation language (red/green) that required/requires YEARS of arbitrations, and gave away first year pay. The third member gave away his job at DHL.

Setting negotiations back several years is preferable to another cost neutral, or worse, TA.

They really, truly, do NOT have a positive track record. Unless you count a "we want to surf porn on our iPads and not get into trouble with the company" DL LOA.

Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought an idiot than to speak and remove all doubt.

If the above is all true than this isn't good for the members.

Its not all true. I'll give GeauxPro the benefit of the doubt and assume he is merely ignorant or misinformed as opposed to intentionally libelous.
