Why we gave them something like that with record profits, I'll never know.
There are several people who frequent this thread who are insistent that all reserves will be flying ALV + 15 in the busy months

Perhaps. But I won't sit here and watch TC continue to toss out lies and inaccurate information. When he does that, he continues to divide our pilot group. I've also provided several reasons why I think we need to keep ALPA in some of my previous posts.

I've heard from a second mx source there is a delay but they didn't give a reason.

Thank you SO MUCH, Bar!!

What a way to start the day. It reminded me of what Clare Torry did for Pink Floyd's The Great Gig in the Sky.

Iconic.

"All the work?" I have just shown my category spread evenly.

It seems to me the system is here to stay. The Pilots who do not like it use general terms like "all the work" yet the more we analyze the system the more it appears to do what it is intended. The system will not be changed unless it can be shown with numbers ans statistics that it is not working. Individual situations and unproven generalizations will not generate a change in the system.

Please show me a category where the junior guys are doing all the work.

You can only embed a video from YouTube. Other sources are blocked by the forum software.
Here's how to do the YouTube thing:
