Thanks Sniper. That is probably why you brought it up to begin with.

I agree completely! Pick up the phone and call someone that can actually give you FACTS.

By the way, BS conspiracy theories destroy unity. BoredwLife if this crap is starting to be said, why believe it?

As for the trading with open time, not had a chance to try it but FLL open time is pretty abysmal this month.
Secondly, I never said I believe the rumors out there. I was more stating a fact so that Sniper wasn't being labeled as flaming. I quite enjoy his posts when he does. It has been said and I have heard it more than once. My opinion... Highly unlikely.

If you are pointing to the automated trip trade, it is my opinion that the company doesn't want to lose control of that yet. Arbitration pending, whenever we will finally get a word on that. Last time I picked up a phone and asked, the "fact" I was told was tomorrow. That was a month ago. Not in their control I understand, but a "I have no idea." would have been more appropriate.

Sorry man I'm not trying to be provocative here.
I agree that Sniper is not here to flame.

The large amount of relief lines are allowing management to circumvent the possible arbitration decision and keep reserve coverage. As far as I can tell 80%+ of the relief lines consisted of 1 trip at the transition and the rest of the line was 100% reserve. Then at least 5 pilots I have spoken to holding said lines say that EVERY single reserve drop and open time pick up have been denied and they are sitting will all reserve on the line. Just my .02.

On #1 I think you may be right. They don't like to give up control, even when it would save them money, or be more efficient.
On #2, it doesn't seem that way in DTW, at least the people I have talked to. But FLL is "home base" and they may be trying something with in conjunction with the new reserve times.

I.e. I called YOU out a few posts above, asking about your motivation being in this thread. You gave us no answer but posted a flame bait instead.
Where did you hear our MEC was corrupt? Looks like this is one nasty accusation. This MEC might have not done awesome on our contract but they did call a strike basically over nothing else but FO pay.
Again what is your motivation in this thread? Are you are trying to spread rumors?
