I have a block of 4 and a block of 3 days off next month. I had to trade a day to get the block of 3 off. Everything else is single days off. I've seen another captain's schedule that also has a block of 4 and a block of 3 off. I've seen another schedule that has the first 7 days off, then the rest of the month is single days off.
There is available open time, and while I've been able to trade a bit to make my schedule more to my liking, I've also been shot down for trades because they've designated certain days "100% Fly Days" and they're not allowed to permit crewmembers to trade out of, PTO or drop those days.

It’s not about the money. The CEO has an ultra strong hatred for anything union. He’s already made his millions, if he could, he would trash the company tomorrow just to spite the fact we dared his authority.

It would seem to me it would be cheaper to come to some sort of agreement with the pilot group. Training costs for new hires is not cheap. A constant turnover of pilots and flight cancellations has to cost more than paying an industry standard wage.
Exactly how many days off a month do you guys get anyway? Do they have you flying maximum hours year round? I'm also curious how many legs you guys do in a day?

-11-19 days off. 17 for November, 75 hours
-with the increase in hiring, I doubt max hours except for maybe junior CAs.. Just a guess
-2 legs, probably 10% = 4 legs but I don't bid them; work too hard running the QRH for 4 legs.. just kidding, sometimes.

You’re correct. That’s the only reason why he hasn’t. And, in the end that will be why we procure a contract.

Thinking weakens the team.
Unless your goal is to drive DOWN the "industry standard."
Because he can just move on to the next airline.
You think he's doing any of this WITHOUT the approval of the Board and the investors? They'll rake the profits until the the last day. And when Allegiant has been cast on the ash heap of airline history, they'll move on to the next.

In my base, the average hours for captains for November is 92, and for first officers is 100. I would expect December to be higher than that.
