That info is bunk. I just gave you the real numbers. Care to share the link to these press releases?
You're using the 6 year captain as an example of how relative position could go, right? 6 years is bubble for FO between line holder and reserve in the lower 48 too. ANC goes quite a bit jr.
Jr. captain is 12 years in ANC and 13 years for lower 48.
Little late for that. Arbitrators have been doing pretty much % for while now.But that said arbitration is arbitration.Back in the day so to speak when it was almost always DOH plus 5 /8 year fences at least you knew what you were signing up for. I can se 6 year 737 Ca being mixed in with somebody's 12 year 737 all in the name of %. As they say careful what you ask for.

This may be the first post in human history where a guy is complaining about getting a line! Are you saying that is bad?
I can remember back in C2K reading the DALPA message boards. One guy was complaining loudly about how much reserve sucked, etc. Someone else chimed in, "uh, right now reserve is a pretty good gig and actually goes senior in some categories."
His response? "Well, something is wrong with a system where any pilot would voluntarily choose reserve."
UNbelievable.

UNbelievable.
BTW, why are senior pilots bidding reserve? ALV-2 hours of pay and a month off, right? Well if they did that for a year, goofed one month and accidentally got a 14 days off 82 hour line, I bet they'd complain.
Very true.
I'll use ATL88B as an example and I'm going to use the previously mentioned 80 hour ALV and 78 hour RES GUAR.
I'm looking at one particular RES line that is ON 02-03JUN, 07-11JUN, 14-18JUN, 21-25JUN, 27-30JUN.
On 02JUN this poor pilot gets 5804, 11.59 block hours.
07JUN, 6790, 22.36 block hours.
14JUN, 6091, 22.42 block hours.
21JUN, 6377, 22.38 block hours.
Now sitting at 77.29. They're still good for 27-30JUN and ALV+15 or [80]+15 or 95 hours. They're not good for any 4 days left on the 27th but they're good for 37 of the 38 3-days that start either on the 27th or 28th.
Now sure the bucket stuff should help, right? But this particular fellow is weekends ON reserve. He'll fly every day and probably never sit a SC, which if there isn't a 3 day on the 27th then he'll be #1 for SC since everyone else by that point would've had probably sat 3. Which is something that needs fixing, when you fly 77 hours and have 0 SCs you shouldn't be put on SC ahead of someone who has 3 and flown 0. But that's imho.

Pretty much. Sort of. There's still been a lot of other factors considered though. At a minimum that relative wouldn't even start until the equavalent widebody positions were stapled to the top. Then there's pay and retirement expectations to consider. No way is top 2% going to slide over to be top 2% with a narrowbody only airline.

You boys may want to pick Carl's brain about how that red/green thing worked. The good news is I doubt we'll get an alcoholic arbitrator who couldn't write......or will we
PS........yes I've been drinking
Here is what you posted:
Also, my W2 is up 50,000 since the merger in 2008. Not 120,000...50,000. Equating to about $8,400 per year or abot a 4 to 5% increase. COLA increases. You continue to embarrass yourself by just making up numbers.
You and your handlers must actually sit around and say: "OK, how can we fool them today? How can we talk a lot and completely misinform."

Well.......where have we seen this before? Where in OUR history have we seen an international widebody airline merge with a smaller narrowbody domestic airline? Oh, wait.......young southies hate northie history, even when it's on point.
