I wouldn’t recommend anyone put off applying to other top tier jobs to hold out for this one. That said, if UPS is where you want to be, keep your app updated every year. If UPS calls after you’re a 350 captain at Delta, the decision will be easy. The sooner the call, the more interesting the choice.

Our trip trading system is beyond broken. The automated system wasn't programed to handle the type of trade I wanted to make on a Friday afternoon (I guess they are still working on it since the 2016 Contract) so I had to do a manual trip trade request. On Monday morning I was informed the trip I wanted to trade was no longer available. Even though the staff is available to process these manual trades over the weekend - they are instructed not to by management. Frustrating.
union for some reason decided they're not fighting this one.

This BS with the trade denial been going on since 2008. The union isn't doing diddly squat about it. How is trading the backseat to the right seat of the same flight/same trip create insufficient reserve situation again?

It was their top priority for a potential midterm a few years ago. Unfortunately many pilots didn’t get the memo to do one persons job. Wonder how much open time you picked up during that stretch?

We’ll just agree to disagree. I’ve flown with several former EB members and the amount of work that goes into that job is astronomical. That isn’t even considering the things they didn’t tell me about.
You’re just throwing out pot shots with no context or backing to rile people up. A level of maturity is needed and far more effective if you have a gripe. A little maturity is needed for anyone to take you seriously.
Have a good one.

To be fair, everyone was giving the responsibility to one base while others got to feed at the trough as much as they liked. If you want improvements for all, then all should have done the work of one.
