An overnight change in behavior is viewed as something that is being orchestrated by the Union.

If you are thinking the Union is going to come out with some specific guidance on now is the time to change your behavior, then you are living under a rock. They will never ask us for that kind of "help." To do so would be illegal and it will never happen!!

That is why everybody must ask themselves "what are my long term goals?" and "is what I am doing today harming my ability to achieve those goals?" This has to be an individual decision and cannot involve any organized pressure from a group to change somebody else's behavior.

If we’re thinking that the majority of the pilots will stop taking premium pay trips, or taking advantage of other lucrative provisions of the contract, then we are living under the same rock. A $10,000 three day trip dangling out there is like crack. People are hooked.

I’m not worried about a $10K 3 day getting scooped up. What worries me is constantly seeing FO’s in my fleet (756) tripping over one another to pick up straight pay trips, many from out of base too. Even more unsettling is seeing the list of 30-50 FO’s wanting to pick up that weekend bunkie 767-400 trip out of EWR. We have a much bigger problem than premium pay pick ups.

This isn’t a problem at all. Let people do what they want. Senior pilots picking up premium pay shouldn’t be the only ones benefiting from extra pay.

Im sorry, I over exaggerated it being a problem. It isn’t a problem until we all start yammering about how our habits hurt by picking up premium trips hurt our long game. Sure, let people do what they want. But we can’t sit here and blame anyone for picking up premium pay trips when straight pay goes like hot cakes.

If the line value stinks, people are going to pick up trips. Those who do straight pick ups probably aren’t senior enough to get anything once it is tagged as premium. With the 756 pay what it is, people will scramble for the -400 because everything that it does is premium when compared to the rest of the fleet. I kind of like people who are willing to pick up trips. They allow me to drop trips when I have something better to do than sit in a little box for several days. People are going to adjust their schedules and pay as they see fit. It’s not my place to tell them that they’re right or wrong.

If any of this extra flying is from picking up an advertised trip, it allows the donor to have greater flexibility in their schedule too.
