Absolutely nothing wrong with your position. But MY preference here would be to achieve my 18-20 hr credit in as little days as possible, then go "kick it" at home for as long as possible, MY position only, and I would never push this onto anyone.

Basically, the company promotes, "Less money, More Go",
We as pilots need to all promote "More Money, Less Go" come contract 2015

I want a 4day worth 26hrs. If it only has 10hrs of flying all the better.
I think if we got rid on trip averaging you would see that.

Not to take away from SAVE's success but Cramer is a joke. He's gotten many things wrong in the past. SAVE started at $12 and is now $76. VA just started at $23 and at end of trading day is at $30. What is more likely to double? Both airlines are growing in the next 8 years but which stock is likely: $30 to $60 or $76 to $152?

Anyway, I purchased the company option of 10,000 dollars worth with a price of $23 per share and put the sell order at close of $30. That's $3,000 positive in one day done. Cramer's advice? He's like the Rush Limbaugh of finance.

I'm the same way. I wouldn't push what I like here on anyone else.
I'm confident we'll have schedules that fit everyone wants come negotiation time.
