Just one of many factors to consider when/if we see proposed "raises" in a MEC passed TA.

Exactly why 3 should not even be considered as a pay bump.

No no no you are confused sir. 45 years is much too optimistic!

Oh and this has been discussed many times. It's surely 48,33*. You need to get your facts straight.

*source - the interweb.

Great post by Guard Dude for 100k and totally on target!

Today was the first day for Jun swap and drops on PCS. I noticed that for the first time since Sep, all the weekends in my cat had reserves equal or less than required, so there was almost no swapping/dropping unless you didn't touch a weekend. I have to say that this was a HUGE impact for my QOL, there were 15 open time trips around and I couldn't get any of them due to reserve coverage issues.

I can see that a leaner staffing of reserves due to these TA reserve rule changes would seriously degrade both reserve guys (maybe) and line holders QOL just by disallowing many more swaps.

Yep. Had all kinds of swaps and pick ups in. Whiffed every time. Going in, reserves available looked great. Now, they show short on several days. Welcome to the new (for now) normal.

OK, so this is third hand info, but since we're dealing in rumors I think it's allowed. Had an AirTran JS today and while discussing the history of the first offer they got from SWA he referenced a conversation he had with a SWA bud of his who at the time said to him, "...take it. I'm already at $300k for the year." (it was August).

Which makes me even more disgusted to hear those numbers which I won't dignify by repeating.
