For the life of me I can’t understand why everyone doesn’t use CC. It’s an amazing tool that ALPA got the company to buy for us.

If someone wants to pick it up at 50pct then go for it! If it’s at 50pct and reserves are trying for it then it may be the only option as well—go for it. Often times it’s the only way someone who isn’t super senior to get a premium pay trip. So let’s not keep saying it helps the company etc etc. Whatvisnreally being said is that taking a trip at 50pct prevents more senior people from getting the 100pct payday.

Or better yet make all of those trips pay at 100% like Delta's greenslips. This auction system we have now is so typical of the Smisek era we are attempting to extricate ourselves from and needs to be changed.

Next contract either no premium or 100% premium, period.

In general PP trips are in the real-time window so seniority doesn’t really play a part, it’s who is fastest. My point is in general if you wait long enough it will become a 100%. I guess I value my time off at roughly 300$ an hour so won’t pick up 50% pay. If others want to that is up to them but they could be losing out.
