I hope we are not negotiating to get back open time at 150%. If there is no open time to pick up what's the point. It's a lost cause if these garbage trips gets picked up at straight time within seconds of being posted.

Yes. Also, what is the incentive for the company to build lines with more days off if they know they'll be at a higher risk to pay premium for those days. I have personally experienced this type of situation in the past with another company and on average the lines had 13 days off per month.

Agree.^^^

The company has direct control over days off, reserve staffing and relief lines. They will minimize open time, at 150%.
One could argue that it might be more cost effective to pay 150% for a few trips, than overstaff. Days off are free however, and they will be minimized.


DFW lines corrected?

On line 55, W4043 on Dec 11th and W4043 on Dec 12th have been removed.
On line 60, W4045 on Dec 17th and W4046 on Dec 18th have been removed.
Upon award, TAJ will be added to the schedule covering the effected dates.

Is that the one next to the economy lot? I inquired about it and it is full.

Why? Have we negotiated something already? How was it used previously? Were any of you here when open time did pay 150%?


Being that we're not even negotiating yet, I wouldn't rule anything out.

I guess he already assumes that the NC is going to negotiate a reduction of days off. Love the new blood onboard.

Yes, sorry to hear it's full. It was the only pad I found while down there that didn't require a car.

I'm bidding 11 out of 34 in ACY, how risky is it bidding a line with a trip on Christmas hoping I can dump it in Initial?

About as risky as falling asleep with a grenade in one hand and the pin in the other. Just bid Xmas off if you can.
