Thats why I assume Denver will see more growth this year. Too many LAS and PHX trips with daily Denver turns built in them.

What are the chances it goes to someone who has been on property for less than 1 year (and probably be gone in less than a year).

Or (if you’re a captain) a senior guy/gal who couldn’t care less

. Lose-lose situation. Next time just take the premium.

Defeatist. Perfect. Have you considered running for a union position?

Defeatist? No. Realist? Yes.

Also, the pilot group can’t not pickup premium open time. I believe it was FEDEX that got in trouble for that exact same thing.

How many pilots are selling their souls for straight pay open time? There’s a bunch of whiners on this website complaining there hasn’t been anything in the daily open time pool for them to pickup.

This^

Every new hire pilot is taking anything and everything with tons of trade board pickup posts to get their time and get out.

Exactly. So if you’re wondering why QOL has substantially gone down on the FO side that’s the reason. Zero Opentime and it all gets hoarded.

And yet if they all worked together, in unity, to not pick up every second of open time the premium would flow like water. And perhaps if they worked together, in unity, to not pick up that premium in 0.02 seconds the payout for that premium would go higher. Other surprising benefits may begin to show up beyond that. It sounds impossible at this point but that’s exactly how it used to happen just two years ago. People used to drop their schedules and just wait. It was a glorious time where by working together everybody made their own lives better.

It was a stroke of luck that looks like a genius move by management. Stop premium for a few months. It changed the game and pilots became pitted against each other fairly quickly. As a pilot group we’ve yet to go back to the old ways. We are stuck in a cycle against ourselves.

You nailed it.

PR isn't stupid; as much as I might agree with you, posting this is.
