having your friend who has a trip you need to increase your credit. He can drop it to you, uncredited, and then you drop it right back to him with PVD. Let’s you get the credit to help imax and you don’t fly the trip he still does. PVD is next years vacation bank is what you are using.

Not true. I tested it just to be sure. You can edit anything you post for a little while with NO "edited at..." notification underneath. After some time, yes, the "edited at..." appears.

Actually, any lineholder can participate in IMAX.

There are two ways; One is to start Month 1 low time, use sick a lot, and the other way is to start Month 1 low time, leave sick time alone, and avarage 93-98 for the next 9-10 months.

I'm not willing to do either, as I am a maximize days off kind of pilot.

The ones that are pro's use conflict bidding, but that takes a trade group.

The successful trade groups (cough dallas cough) use paid staff to man a computer with members paying a monthly fee and the organizer has everyones passwords and plays the members HI 1's like a Stradavarious. Just email in your desires and nevermind the man behind the curtain and wham bam talking serious money being made with trips being washed, RO's being blocked and days off secured. Good livin' if you can get in.

...but shhhhhh, that's a big secret no one is allowed to talk about.

Look, our work rules are terrible. Our peers make more money by the end of the year because of their work rules, or they have more days off for the same W2.

Is he the same person that left a Purple Cargo carrier to come here and constantly cries all over our AA FB pages? .... if I was that miserable I'd just have a career change.

Wow, really? Didn't know there are people using a paid service down in Dallas right next to Union hall. Seems like a few people having an unfair advantage over the whole pilot group. No wonder the union protected IMAX at all costs, even at the expense of significant across the board QOL increases. Got a little help from their friends.

If that's true it never happened to me. Then again this board is filled with all sorts of bugs since the needless upgrade. As a matter up fact an annoying "auto saved" green box is appearing right above what I am currently typing for some reason.

Point being Red Fergie post-edited my post and is now trying to use some type of website glitch to weasel out of taking responsibility.

I did no such thing. Get the mods to show you the proof you need. It’s not my fault you can’t write complete and coherent sentences.
