Or just stay at home/on the beach/on a mountain and enjoy your life with your kids/solitude/an ice-cold beverage while all these other guys chase a few extra dollars on their days off before we all die.

To each their own, I guess.

Yeah, or work smarter and not harder. Drop a 3 day or a 2 day trip and if something more productive or a PP trip pops open during those days you should have been working then grab it.

It’s listed on right hand column of Real time trades, you can also criteria search it on seniority trip trade window.

Ha I’ve heard that before, a guy in Houston was *****&ng that jr guys are picking up the trips before they hit 100%, I looked over and told him I pick up for straight time because I’ll never get the premium ones, and thanked him for holding out.....

This brings up another point.....is SR manning dead? Why would they want to go down the list in order making calls for which they have to pay a guaranteed 100% premium when they can just throw trips out to everyone and auction them off to the lowest bidder?? It's all a function of their level of desperation, I suppose...

Which also begs the pattern bargaining question of the day, why do we allow that? 100% or straight pay, period.

Well apparently in this thread it’s junior guys scared senior guys will nab it for 100% if they wait and not accept 50%. Then some guys will work on their days off for straight pay as well, so little incentive for the company to post it right away to 100%.

On a side note, myself and the captain I just flew with waited around 30 minutes on 50% trip to jump to 100%. Both of us are far from being senior as well in our BES, so there’s that...

Yup SRM is dead until we negotiate it to 200%........
