Do these cases make you one of Bendo's minions? I personally don't think so. I think it is okay to accept some offers by crew scheduling under certain situations at this point in negotiations. I personally will not go above and beyond for only financial reasons at this point, but i will consider their proposals if it allows me to attend certain important family functions.
Thoughts?

You don't need permission bro. Just do whatever you need to do in order to:
1. Get paid the most
2. Have the most off time
3. Best trips and QOL
As long as it's within the bounds of the contract, you are A-OK.
Me personally, I do what's best for me. I'm not an OT hog, but I do pick up on certain occasions in transition and yes, at straight pay sometimes.
For instance, January is a notoriously slow month for getting called for JA's. There are quite a few reserves available in my base over the first part of the month with only a couple of red days in there. I picked up an easy high credit 3 day. At straight pay.
We will likely be without a new contract for quite some time regardless of whether you pick up or not and regardless if you run all three on taxi at all times. Just do what's best for you.

Ok, hear me out. Maybe he doesn't want to pick up open time so he works a second job as a clown. His gig at a bar mitzvah ran late and he will change into his black cowboy boots and alpa tie in the crapper at the airport.

Beats the quality inn I say. But download the ID90TRAVEL app because they usually have great deals on hotels. Watch out for resort fees though.

I have heard he hard rock will give crew a late late checkout like 5pm? True?
