I think we should get a narrow body pay rate and a wide body pay rate. Use the 744 as the wide body rate and the 757 as the narrow body rate. Pilots would stop chasing planes for pay and the company would save on training costs. It makes no sense to me why the 73N pays more than the MD-88 or MD-90 when the seat count is pretty much the same.

Some of our reps don't believe we are worth SWA rates. Remember, "we're not SWA, or Airtran!"

Direct quote or out of context second or third hand rumor? Either put up or shut up

You need to notify the company ASAP. Its odd to get a short notice jury duty summons so make sure you have a dated copy of the notice. The contract requires notification to the company as soon as you get the notice or you will not be paid. In the past they have always dropped the entire trip however nothing requires them to do that.

I have never heard a single rep say that. In fact the only guys I hear saying that are the DPA guys who keep repeating it but its always second or third hand. Give us names of the reps who said that so we can recall them.
