Contacting my union rep as we speak. Thanks to all of you for keeping the pressure on these clowns. They are in the same category as non members and are collectively sc--wing the rest of us over. No one should get special treatment. Bid your schedule based on seniority, and play by the rules. Luck and timing are always a player, but this is cheating the system and your brothers over. My feeling is they deserve no protection and should all be publicly humiliated for their crimes against the rest of us.

Please put all these trip numbers/dates into your posts (and airplane, if not MD). You can wait till trip filled if you are trying to pick it up, but you know damn well you won't get it cuz of the Usual Suspects. We need to know ALL these trips. I have been Evernote'ing these trips and Calendars for 4 years. Union can have all my data.

Why Now?
Ok, so this has been going on for years….its obvious, everyone hates it….Makes me want to vomit. I've heard a rumor months ago that 5 guys (Not the burgers) that all went to school or something with one of the schedulers were caught paying money to said scheduler…..depending on who you heard it from, the five guys rumor was juicy.
So why now????….why the traction now???? Some guy with 8 posts comes in and torches off a match on a fire, and now we're all calling our block reps over something that has been a problem for years.
Man….If I were a manager, I'd use a screen name that has 8 posts total and get the twelve angry guys all stirred up and get them to call up their block reps and distract them on an issue that had really very little impact to the entire crew force…(Despite the fact that it irritates the hell out of me)…..if nothing else, maybe they will trade something to get something done to the offenders…….better yet, ALPA will be distracted by HAVING TO DEFEND five guys whose heads were called for…..wait for it…wait for it….. by the membership!
I don't know this AyFkm…though I don't come on here very often…..8 total posts as of know. First two were required…agreeing to the rules and introducing yourself…which he did, but must have been in a hurry to post, because he did that twice. Really must have wanted posting privileges. Posted once on the Mesa Board….then posted three times here….each one fanning flames…..one thread started…….about this. It could very well be a cubicle commander……..especially during negotiations…..it would be especially rich to have ALPA leading the charge to discipline someone…..
I wonder if we're close to a contract and Management is making sure they don't leave a dime on the table.

I dunno. I think that may be a little paranoid. Management would have to think we're awfully dumb to take our eye off the goal and get overly distracted by a minor issue such as this. Oops! I guess they do think we're pretty stupid, as they still seem to be offering up PBS as such a wonderful scheduling tool.
But I suspect that Ayfkm could have gone on this board for the same reason I did. I lurked for years, and it wasn't until something really ****ed me off (management sick harassment) that I decided to post. In fact, couldn't wait to post.
I trade constantly, and if I was a MD-11 guy getting beat out for these charters by the same guys all the time, I'd be enraged too. It's lifestyle and money, some of the issues dear to our hearts.
