Calling ALL V.J.M. Winners.....
....Don't trip all over yourselves.
On CAL's CCS Home Screen:
If you are a B737 Captain or First Officer in IAH, EWR, CLE, LAX or GUM that does a straight pickup of a full trip pairing from open time that originates on March 3, 2012 through March 5, 2012, that pickup will be treated as a “voluntary junior manning” (VJM) event and you will be paid a minimum of 4:30/day or flight time flown, whichever is greater, at 150% of your normal hourly rate.
Please note that this offer does not apply to pairings acquired over this timeframe as a trip trade. The eligibility of “trip splits” for this program will be subject to crew scheduling approval at the time the split is executed.

In all fairness if we are going to condemn anyone accepting JRM then we need to do the same for anyone trading into anything that increases their monthly time credit value by even one single minute above their original line award.

Funy thing though.............if you are within 4:30 of your min pay guarantee on reserve (76 hours for B reserve), they shut you down so you can't make ANY money, but they'll beg and plead for a line holder to fly and make 150% to INCREASE their pay. And they plan to take the EXCESS reserves to staff the new ORD/DEN bases! Only thing is..............THEIR ARE NO EXCESS RESERVES.................we have NO RESERVES available! BRILLIANT! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! LOL Hopefully someone gets fired over this pathetic staffing model..............

If you recall, it was the loss of CRAF flying due to staffing that led to her demise! CAL lost a lot of money because of her/CAL's shortsighted approach to doing business... Kind of like UAL/CAL leading into Summer 2012, Retirement sicktime drawdown, and ultimately retirements. It will get progressively worse...!

Supposedly the "cut back" of B737 pilots in EWR is also costing the company upwards of $50 MILLION a year in extra hotel rooms and DH'ing. If this is true, then they have PLENTY of money to give us an incredible contract. This place reminds me of the USAF.............screw up and move up.............
