And as usual, we fight amongst ourselves while the company wins.

Personally, I think that any pilot who can fly 75 hours and credit 200 should be put on a pedestal for hero worship, BUT he should also be forced to make himself available EVERY holiday so that those of us who like our off time are allowed to drop those days. Because, a credible argument can be made that those who continuously "work the system" are enabling the company to understaff; which prevents me from receiving the scheduling QOL I desire.

In defense of the OT "gamers", I'll say this: most of them that I know WILL work Christmas .................. because open Christmas trips are almost guaranteed to go out at premium plus pay.

Do quite well, yes. Total contract compliance, no. It is what it is though.

You sound disappointed. What contract violation are you alluding to? Take the company's money. Make 'em pay. No?

Right, not on a public board. How about you guys put these atrocities out via AMES? Don't educate the useful idiots!

It's all rhetoric. If you cant keep us up to date internally, shut your pie hole in public.

Thank you.

Sounds like ALPA to me.
Looking FORWARD to you're next update!
