I am senior in category still been getting inverse assignment calls. The company did the same thing in the 05-07 time frame before it became more economical to just hire more pilots. It became very tiring very quickly. For narrowbody pilots you knew when you were signing in but only had a vague idea when you'd be getting done with a rotation.

I do not pick up the phone, and although you say putting a trip on the the swap board or as a qualified drop will get picked up, that is not always the case. Especially if people know that the coverage is so low. Why pick up for straight pay when you can try to get double right.

I’m with wake on that one. You can disagree with the point made, but as per usual, you went off on a tail spin about how millennials/kids/newbs/snowflakes and all the other people that don’t see it through buck’s eyes are just plain stupid. Don't say, “Show me where I called anyone stupid.” You wouldn’t have been as absurd and long winded if you weren’t insinuating it.

When you hired on did you know...1. What a seniority system is, and 2. where as a new hire you stood in that list? Did you understand those issues but expected to have the QOL issues that are inherent in such a system were going to get fixed to favor the "less" senior?
OBTW....you might look up humor. You may not have found it humorous but I entertained myself......and that's all that matters to me......because, as we all know.....senior guys are selfish because thy don't want to make your life better.....I'm just the typical, "I had to pay my dues and so should you".......is that about right?

One of these days I'm going to learn my lesson that the internet doesn't hear what you said, it hears what it wants to hear.

If you hav a 90/10 split with your business partner id have to assume its reflective of a proportional ownership stake.
That....or you are a fool and your 'partner' knows it.
You have no such ownership in the corporation. You....are an employee. So beyond the PS cut and gains from stock positions....you enjoy no ownership position to 'share' in revenue and profits.
I question your lucidity with statements that delta has extracted financial gains as much from employees of the last 5 years as much as the last 25.

Referencing TA1, I think management did, in fact, think we were fools and I'm glad in that instance we proved them wrong.
Referencing financial extraction, you misread my post or I mistyped. I'm not diminishing sacrifices made by those with 25 years. I was just highlighting the fact that new folks in any given year are probably (on average, with numerous exceptions) working more hours for Delta than the 25-year guys. 5 weeks of vacation, 270 hours of sick leave, seniority to maximize productivity, and doing everything for perhaps 3-5 times the hourly rate of a newbie... it's nice sitting at the top and I look forward to that perch in decades. Buck will tell you that I think we all deserve the same thing (and I look forward to other creations), but I don't. I just happen to think we're making enough money as a union that certain QOL enhancers that benefit the bottom more than the top could actually be palatable:
Have 6 days of paid APD
Reduce nonvoluntary max SC quantity to 6
Pay SC, used or unused, above guarantee
Pay for new hire hotels
Provide for free initial uniform allocation
Get rid of first year flat pay
End training pay at OE start
Mandate more frequent AE/base change opportunities (e.g., monthly)
Go back to 1 year seat lock for NH and waive it if going to higher pay rate
Create optional IQ and OE golden days
Limit the top of the LCW to 85 hours for those who choose that option

Well unfortunately, your reading comprehension skills need a tune up. I weighed in on a host of QOL issues. Other than seniority issues, there was no mention of the things you cited.
When you hired on did you know...1. What a seniority system is, and 2. where as a new hire you stood in that list? Did you understand those issues but expected to have the QOL issues that are inherent in such a system were going to get fixed to favor the "less" senior?

Buck, did you purposefully quote yourself earlier, or did you think you were posting as an alter ego to present the image that people agree with you?
If the latter, how many alter egos do you have?
