So if I’m not senior enough to get 50/100% pay I shouldn’t pick anything up and just let other guys make extra money. Lol not gonna happen.

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.
Picking up a trip at $300 an hour is working for free?? Let it go dude

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.

Exactly. I’ve seen way too many out of base guys come in and take a trip at 50-75%, even straight time. Most in base guys seem to hold out for 100% on those days with no coverage. But it’s way too hit or miss to predict who’s gonna hold out and who’s gonna say 50% is perfect for my situation.

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.

The time some guys put into worrying about what other people do is comical, who gives a **** what someone wants to do with their schedule?

No progress? News to me. Do you have an official source email or posting you can cite?

This. But to answer your question; it’s the APC chapter of the Angry ex Wives Club.

One could begin by looking at the amount of their last retro check from Mother U. I think he has a valid point, rabid outlier though he apparently is.

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?
