My point is that with the 2L door, you have an ability to turn the aircraft quicker because the cleaners can do 1st class and start boarding almost immediately. Since dwell time and all that rot has become so important, one would think they would look at these time lines as well as being important.
We don't need no stinkin' 2L door on the -88. Our cleaners just wait until First in empty (maybe) then invade the cabin, emptying trash cans in the face of deplaning less-than-HVCs and all but shoving them out of the aisle if they get in the way. If stealing all the stuff the passengers left on the airplane slows the cleaning down too much, they can always just escape down the aft stairs when the next round is boarding.
Did management believe it to be "detrimental to the process" to intentionally abrogate our contract, DISCIPLINE (and yes, taking away pay from pilots IS a form of discipline) pilots by forcing a PD on them, and then making them do a carpet dance in the CPO? Hell no. They even told us they were going to violate our contract ahead of time. What have we done about other than "collect data"? NOTHING! And now we have apologists like you advocate that doing NOTHING is advancing the process. It's not! Wake up man!
If this isn't a shot across the bow I don't know what is. This is exactly what's wrong with DALPA. They, and their loyal followers---like YOU, continue to hamper our collective ability to make contractual gains. What exactly would be "detrimental" by FILING a grievance? Are they going to take our retirement away? Pay us less than they did 14 years ago? Take away crew meals--but continue to feed the F/A? A 7th short call?
I wouldn't characterize what you have written as "drivel" and I don't think you are "CLUELESS". I respect your opinion. I just happen to disagree with your opinion more often that I agree with it.
Personal Drop Question
I asked for but didn't get a day off that I need next month. Now I have to try and get out of the trip. I need off on day two of a 4-day and all four days have inadequate reserve coverage. I won't be able to drop it but reserves available is greater than 25% of reserves required so I should be able to use my APD. My question is do I put in for an APD on day two only, get the entire trip dropped and can then try to GS or WS something on the other three days?

You would be amazed what people will do to avoid the pick up limit.

agreed on the swap board first
and yes.. Only put the APD on one day, it will drop the whole trip anyway and you will be able to pick up on the other days.
