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.

I would love to hold my ground each and every time for 100% but it’s just not going to happen. Way too many times I’ve seen trips that could easily go 100% go for 50% or even straight time. Unless we get it hammered out that any PP is strictly 100%, no 50% or 75% then for better or worse people are going to do what works best for themselves when it comes to picking up flying on days off.

Many of the guys who preach only pick up 100 percent are full of it . I have been on the jumpseat with senior dudes who are moaning about guys picking up 50 %. I get it . However come the slow time of of this year which was DEC, Jan, Feb at least in EWR FO, I saw this dam dude now having smart pick ups in for 50 percent. So I call Bs . All relative to the time of year and how much PP is being dished out.
Sure in the summer when guys are getting 100 left and right , then the junior guy can roll the dice at waiting for 100.

Waiting for 50 or 100%? Some of the most senior 777 guys in ord have criteria trades in everyday off. Since there is no progress made on our contract I have no idea why anyone is picking up any trip. The company must be laughing everyday.

Will a TA in late 2019, or late 2020 be progress? Will your retro check make up for two more years of weak work rules, vaca pay screwing, Reserve rules, training pay, rescheduling loopholes etc. etc. etc?
