737 VJM..............Take 5
This is going to just one long continuous pilot bulletin update. I foresee this going through the rest of this year, minimum. Summers over, UAL begins recalling in September so not only are we already short staffed and hiring off the street to fill the void, now we have UAL pilots leaving to go back to UAL as well. Thank you Jackson Martin, Chip Benton, and Fred Abbott.

Why the company offers it up or thinks it is more cost effective then hiring is beyond me. On the 737, entire system, all but 5-6 days are open for VJM.

This is why I'm expecting classes to continue through the summer. Probably less than every other week (currently) and smaller class sizes, but I don't see how they can justify these additional costs.
At a minimum, I'd expect LCAL to run through the entire LUAL furlough list and then start interviewing for fall newhire classes.

This continual VJM is actually GOOD news for us. It's apparent the company has NO PROBLEM paying a perpetual 150% pay rate, so BIG pay increases should be easily acquired in our next contract. Of course, I'm sure some ALPA attorney will find a way to give it back to the company to "help us".

You guys need to start defecating in flight bags, sending them to GUM etc etc etc.
If I were a super senior F/O and my upgrade and pay raise was being forever delayed by these pigs at the trough you can bet I would not go quietly into the night.
If I were at the top of the reserve lines I would be furious that my line holding days were being pushed further and further away because of the lack of movement caused in large part by the above mentioned pigs.
WAKE UP!
