Good question.
I'd love to see some contractual protections prohibiting formal and trackable DIE/CRT training.
But I'm a Martin Luther King man myself. Woefully behind the times.
(If you haven't read/listened to the Taylor Branch MLK trilogy and work for a southern company; well, you really should. Like Ghandi and Fredrick Douglas, the man had his faults, but Jeebus...what an orator. But MLK is sooooo passé. You can get fired for adhering to the MLK line now.)

Maybe if we did less optimizing of trips more would be picked up in open time or as GS. I look thorough open time and put specific trips as a GS. I won’t Jen look at 90% of them.

Perhaps they could issue training bypasses on this next bid for NBa -> WBa and also for mid seniority FO’s who bid WB b or NB a? I didn’t think they would do that but who knows, maybe it’s acceptable to pay some FO’s taxpayer-funded captain pay to stay put for a while.
And to stay with the context above this post: open time trips these days stink but IA’s don’t care. IA be like the honey badger.

Lots of truth right here. Phone rang all weekend with early show 3 leg day, short layover, 3 leg day or 8+ hour block day GS’s. Not commuting in a day early over a holiday weekend to get beat up.

It’s ok. Read the comments in this article. We are so woke that soon we won’t need all these pilots. https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/delta-cancels-over-100-flights-as-pandemic-travel-soars

Same boat here. Tons of green slip opportunities this weekend. But a DH + 4 legs a day on days 1/3 don’t work for me for any amount of $$$$.
