That's because he was bumped by MGT and then had the audacity to pick up another charter on top of the one he was bumped from. 200% pay.

I think we all are beginning to see the importance of our union being required to uphold the Code of Ethics. This situation is absurd and is creating a divide. Furthermore, the union's lack of interest to police their own is disgusting and undermines our efforts in contract negotiations and grievances. If the union lets it go why not the company. Solution: Letter from ALPA to these individuals explaining their breach of the code. Explain that they either defend their position or there will be a vote amongst the union for decertifying their membership. We have a closed shop, so these fools will still have to pay but anything other than that is really up to the union.
This problem needs to be rectified before I sign a new contract. If I get one of these charters it will improve my pay and QOL more than anything that is being negotiated.

The FO on the 2234/21 is infamous, but 2236/21 seems like just a good OT grab. Let's make sure we separate the cheaters from those who play fair instead of accusing everyone who gets a good trip now and then into the same pot.

2236 was a lucky grab, that FO is definitely NOT abusing the system

2234 FO on the other hand is infamous & has been doing this for months. The fact that he blocks his calendar should tell you everything you need to know

Replace "for months" with "for years". It has been at least 2 years that I know.

Wow, this has to change

Seems like there was a way to look at a blockers cal on the green screen. Anyone remember how?

We've somewhat solved this problem on the 757. Almost zero charters and trips in open time that people are more likely to run away screaming from than picking them up with OTP. Ahhh, the simple life.
With that said, what I'm reading here is absolute BS even if only 50% true. It reveals a significant breach of integrity which should concern the company. People willing to break the rules for personal gain generally don't limit their rule breaking to one specific act. And a system that can't police itself eventually ends up having someone else take over that job when it inevitably falls apart. None of us want that.

What's the correlation between picking up charters and blocking calendars? What's the advantage of blocking your calendar if you pick up a charter? We never seem to have charters in the Bus unless someone is getting them before they hit open time (I've never seen one in the Bus).
