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.

FDX Charters
Just a couple of facts:
I haven't gotten a charter flight in over a year until this month. January 2013 was my last charter trip.
I just recently blocked my calendar, after much thought, consideration, and prayer because there are crew members that have my last twelve months of work printed out and are carrying it with them to show everyone they fly with. This, I feel, is harassment. Yes, I have been successful with trip trading, no I'm not cheating. Period.
No I do not recycle OTP.
I don't know other people's techniques or processes.
I thought I would respond honestly to defend myself on this board, I hope it helps and isn't taken to fan the fire. Please take me if your list of wrong doers. That's all I'm going to say. Thanks

I'm thinkin....
Lakeside works alot....nothing wrong with being on Reserve and never getting called and doing my 2 weeks of FedEx on the other weeks....
but, boy, if I did that 12 months out of the year I might block my calendar too.
But then again, can't really see me wanting to work that much

Charter and Extra are two separate trip types. Both can be real good. Charters are usually the best deals in my opinion and have loadmasters(reps as you call them).
My friend, I haven't been able to get a Charter flight in over a year. But I have been successful in getting a good share of Extra flying.
