Yea, I’m not picking up until 300% is back.

Hopefully others do the same if they’re able so managment will know only 300% will cover the flights they need

Yeah, but we have a lot of people very interested in any kind of premium. Personally I’m against it (if nobody picked anything up, mgmt realizes our pay and staffing are insufficient, suddenly wants an early opener to be industry leading), but if people are motivated by 300%, fine. So I’ll just say this:

It is not advantageous to pick up 200%. The going rate for open time is 300%, and the company has shown a willingness to pay it. Be smart, show them their open time won’t be covered by 200%. Everybody makes more in the long run.

When the 300% isn't around, it would be great if pilots would help each other by picking up off of the trade board, but I guess that's too much to ask.

Not one but TWO attendance emails sent out to everybody in one day. Love those morale boosters!

Day off or 200%? Kind of a no brainer when they do absolutely zero for Pilot QoL in any other way.

300 is such a friendly number... at least I think so. Kinda makes me happy.

I’m not so sure, it looks like they’ve really been clearing open time in most bases. Not much open the next few days, and where the reserve grid showed negative it now shows 0. So I guess good job. We really held the line on this one.

It’s not clearing there just isn’t as much. Once you got past the 6th, there was very little open time generally speaking.
