Mymobile365 has all bid packets. Does the W2 come in the mail or on ESS? And does it come early or around the 31st?

We do? Exactly what do we have that is so awesome besides transition?
I guess the lines the last few bid periods are awesome in your eyes also.
No long call reserve, no premium pay other than JM and that will stop as they utilize more reserves and staffing catches up.
We will be doing recurrent from home for the most part soon, so we lose our ability to create conflicts that month and lose credit.
We have no red eye override, we are flying 228 pax around for basically the same as we do for 145. No ability to sell back sick time, hotels that we have little control over, no ability to pick up trips if you bid a reserve line.
It isn't bad by any means here, but I know that colleagues in the same position at other majors work less and earn more for the same thing we are doing. Sure, there are pilots around here that do really well, but it is few and far between and you really have to work the system and whor3 yourself out to make the same as a legacy pilot who only works their schedule.
So enlighten me on what is great besides transition and 4 days off?
I would like to see what we would be offered if we gave transition up and went pbs. If it would be real $$, I bet many would think about it. As the lines are getting 5hityy around here and pbs would almost be welcome.

A point about pbs, someone correct if I'm wrong, I got the feeling from the NC that neither the company OR the majority of us are interested in it??
Anyways we have much work to do and there are MANY OPINIONS. The NC will take the survey results and run with what the majority ask for.
Hopefully some of it is close to what you want and you can relax a bit. It's going to be a while, unfortunately.
Cheers

PBS will not fix the pairing construction. The lines suck because they are comprised of lousy pairings. ALPA has absolutely zero control over pairing construction. Pairing construction is controlled in totality by the company. The only input ALPA has is during line construction. Lousy pairings add up to lousy lines.
The lines also suck because our spectacular work rules enable the company to build crappy pairings, and as a result we end up working six day blocks made up of a 2 day, a turn, and a 3 day in no particular order. Proper trip and duty rigs would fix this issue by forcing by the company to build more productive pairings, and eliminating the six day BS.
As good as the 4 days off are, the six days on are equally as bad, and it absolutely needs to be fixed.

I just found this handy video to help me get through this week's turmoil. It might help you as well.
Just breathe. Relax. It'll all be ok.

You usually need to have your printer hooked up through your wireless router, than when you hit the little left turning arrow on the upper rights have corner if you are in your email, or square with an arrow out the top of it in the upper right hand corner you can choose to print. You iPad also usually needs to be on the same wireless network.
