Best trip ever, BOS/YUL turns twice a day on 767-300..... and then they discovered it could go far, far away...... sigh....

So, why were requests for the 4th of July off not awarded when there are surplus reserves on that day and no off day grouping requirements were violated?

If we push hard on the next contract my opinion is we will be in a much better position to bargain then we were on the last despite what some say.

Remember how senior the 727 NY Shuttle out of BOS went? Super Senior! Show up at 7am, fly 4-6 quick legs to LGA, go home. It was even more senior for the F/A's! Everybody loved flying the Shuttle.
I loved commuting on it, Free Sam Adams!
If you sat near the fwd galley, you could easily score two on a 45 minute leg, one when they pulled the carts out, another 20 minutes later when they put them away.

Don't fall into that age group, but I guess you missed the part about seniority. I like having junior and senior equipment. You have choices....QOL or money. Very few of us can have both. I just wouldn't want to be forced into flying DKR and the like. My preference is domestic. Done enough INTL flying and want it to be my choice. Would you bid domestic if LBP happened tomorrow? My guess is you would along with many others WB capts.

Here's another flaw in your argument. I am getting that paycheck now.. and flying those same kind of domestic trips. Soooooo how would I benefit again?
