Default PBS/Bidding Strategy EWR787

Brainstorming here. It’s a pretty safe bet we’re not going to TLV next month or anytime soon.

Would bidding TLV be an intelligent strategy to get an entire month dropped with pay for November or allow opportunities to get paid double over those days?

1) depends on deadline for company to adjust pairings
2) not unless you’re a senior mama

I will never understand pilots desire to work more. If I’m bought off a trip I’ll stay the heck away from work…

Could be…. You’ll likely get AV days. Whether you’re reassigned into open flying is the gamble.

they wouldn’t be working, would be working the same. And since we are all volunteers to be here, we’re in agreement the compensation is fair enough to do the work. So if the same work actually nets you more money, seems like the logic tree says you do it. 🤷‍♂️

The weak aspect of your logic is that 'we' also claim to value time off and 'QoWL'. So, when given time off with pay shouldn't it follow that we choose the time off over additional pay?

700 people dead including 100 soldiers and policemen, hundreds of children kidnapped, thousands stranded in a country at war, and you're thinking about how you can get double pay?
Sometimes I'm proud to be a pilot.

I bet the Lockheed/Raytheon/L3/GA/Boeing executives are just besides themselves crying over the news too!
