Reserves are flying their full RLG and then some, trips are being drafted, and we are overstaffed. We all know the score. Any money we gained in the last contract has been extracted in the past 10 months. Since 4a2b is still in effect, I guess we are still delaying furloughs. If they furlough me, who will they call for draft? For the record, unless a MLB team calls to draft me, the answer is NO!

MD-11 FO Mem has a 72+hour carryover trip tomorrow. CRS had it pulled after 10AM as usual, but they decided to put it back in open time to try and fill it. Hopefully it will get split up requiring many expensive deadheads. 44 reserves in November? I'd like to see people hold strong, we could be out of 4.a.2.b next month. I guess I am eternally optimistic...

I guess we are all a little greedy than. Isnt that why we want our old pre 4a2b lines back. Just looks like this person has made all of theres back up. I dont blame him or her. Just wish it could have been me. Just my 2 cents.

Dude, many of us could have picked up the trip. I could have, my schedule was open. This guy has 120 hours in a 4 week month. That made up a lot of 4.a.2.b. The unfortunate reality is that if we (collective) would sit still for one month that we would get our BLGs up immediately. They may not exit 4.a.2.b., but they would add reserves which would increase BLGs. Oh well....
