Found it! VERY telling. IAH pilots work for free! ORD EWR pilots wait for 100% add pay. That's what I am seeing.

They aren’t working for free. How many of the trips get traded for before it even got to the PPU stage?

So I'm flying for free on a 4 day that I picked up from another pilot who was trying to drop the trip? Pilot pool display shows 0/-4/-1/+1. He wasn't going to be able to drop it with those numbers even though there were at least 10 reserves each day and zero open pairings all four days.

Not at all EWR ORD have less coverage and more weather and ATC issues

Then leave IAH and bid ORD or EWR

Sluts rule!

Most jump their package for middle seat but cringe for 50% PP. You funny. Read the next contract.

Yeah I don't get it.....No wait yeah I do... IAH is SCAB heavy. They feel it's their duty, their "destiny" to work for free. It's like Darth Vader preaching to Luke Skywalker. Come to the dark side.. You don't know the power of the dark side.

Scabs do it for free, they feel they gotta throw a bone to the company since the company gave them a career that they didn't deserve.

The scabs are generally a greedy bunch who are more likely to wait for premium pay and they’re senior enough to get it. The 737 base in iah is twice the size of a base like ORD and there will therefore be a larger number of trips going out with no premium pay. Everything that goes against someone’s personal agenda around here isn’t due to scabs or some type of scab culture. People are either adding to their check or trading into a better trip.

Don’t rock the boat. Your facts don’t fit their agenda.

Not to worry; I'm sure they'll be complaining shortly that trip trading never works.

There was a 0% chance of me getting PP over those days just as there was a 0% chance of the guy whose trip I picked up being able to drop the trip because the company would never have positive coverage during the entire 4 days he wanted to drop.
