Sad to say, but I'm SURE there will be plenty of 'junior man winners' knocking on the door to pad their 100 hr+ line credits when this offer comes-a-call'in. What will be interesting is the ratio of Capt's vs FO's that end up in the right seat to claim the extra booty during the VJM assignments. Shall we keep a tally??

"Rah Rah, GO TEAM"!!

Time will tell.....

If this past summer is an indicator, numerous 737 flights were cancelled because more than the historical number of pilots did not accept junior manning assignments even when the company attempted to involuntary junior man. They have always planned on that support and it didnt materialize and hence the sickout PR. Of course we will have some, but most folks on the 737 I know understand the contract and there right to refusal and get it....

Or just don't answer the phone.

Good luck to the reserves.

Merry Christmas.

I wish very much that we could post names of the winners, but that would probably lead to some sort of an injunction from the" court happy" Jeffrey.

On a lighter note.....it's good to know that there's extra funds available to pay more when there's a chance a plane won't move.

Sounds like a good time to make an announcement that our Dear Leader Jeff will 'give' the CAL pilots profit sharing... This game is SO predictable. It really sucks when we help the opponent defeat us!

I have a bad feeling that things are going to get VERY ugly, VERY soon.

The block times are so thick it's very difficult to NOT arrive within 14 minutes.

Talk to the L-UA guys who remember.....
Their "JM Winners" got lots of 'periodicals', and other goodies sent to their places of residence after voluntarily participating in such a program.

Yes, you would be correct as per the CAL CBA.....BUT there are those who 'wait' for that phone call and they trip all over themselves to answer/sign-up for it....and they reside in BOTH seats.

Let's hope you are correct, and everyone chooses to operate to the letter of the current (POS) CBA.
