You’re delusional…

If your merry band of concessionists would have had their way we’d have been the laughingstock of the industry. Face it you were a loser on a losing team. The only thing more pathetic than your association with the Toddler are your repeated attempts to justify yourself by throwing shade at the winning team.

The only heavy lifting you’ve done is to wag your tic tac sized phallus in the faces of this pilot group. We remain unimpressed.

 

This isn’t Russia Danny, no one makes you take a job.

 

No worries, I was in and out of the building 6 or 7 times during the lost decade. I left for good in early 2019 and haven’t been back. During that time I was also a 777 F/O, 737 F/O, 320 F/O, 320 CA, and a 756 F/O in that order between multiple surpluses in and out of the building. So yeah you’ve probably seen a post or two about TK from me in the past.

 

Sort of; you still have to be off probation unless you have the 350 hours in type at United and the 100 hours OE, etc.

 

Our LCAs are generally good but 100 hrs of OE sounds miserable

 

With respect to the min calendar day, I have also interpreted it to mean during a trip.

Here's how I think the math works, based on a trip of the following credit:

Day 1: 7.5 hours
Day 2: 6.5 hours
Day 3: Standover Day
Day 4: 6 hours

Current Book: This trip pays 20 hours. We have a 5 hour average credit per day, average being the operative word. It's not coincidental the other 3 days on a 4 day almost always work out to about 20 hours. That way the day off is free to them.

New Book: This trip would pay 21 hours with the 5:15 average credit per day, except that it has a Standover day which now takes on a value of 2:30, making the actual trip credit 22:30 (20 credit for days 1,2, and 4 plus 2:30 for day 3).

​​The whole notion of an average credit per day is asinine and I'm disappointed we couldn't get rid of that. It's not how it works at many other airlines. If you're away at work, a day should have a minimum value, independent of other days.

This is a good step towards paying us what we are worth, and sets the stage for future improvements. It was shocking coming here from my regional which had a hard 4:12 min day. Show up at work, get paid no less than 4:12. The above trip would pay 24:12 at my old regional.

 

We voted to strike? Guess I was the 1% that didn’t get the message.

 

This isn't your regional. The door is open if you want to step outside and take a permanent look.

 

I was surprised too. With that said, If you think about the days you fly 3:30 and credit 5:15 (rather than 4:12) it cushions the blow. Now we basically have a 2:45 giveaway on trips with a stand over day.

the new add pay rigs more than make up for that 2:45, as far as I can tell, compared to the minimum daily guarantee the regionals have. Bidding locals and 2 days would be another strategy if one was preoccupied with avg day values

 

Thanks. I think I'll stay and try to continue to improve what we have here.
