Let me ask a question. Is it on our contract that they have to do that??? If not, go pound sand!!!

I demand that the company make a line where every trip only has a 11AM show time so I can sleep in. I demand that I only fly one leg a day and I demand that every layover is next to a beach in some tropical location.
This is ridiculous. I hope you’re trolling. It’s completely reasonable to want to be able to bid commutable lines. The good news is that this should be achievable to most with PBS and if not the new rigs should help alleviate the pain.

and while that would be totally awesome, expecting to be able to commute is somewhat realistic.

I never heard anyone demand commuter lines during last contract negotiations. Why is this person just now complaining?

Would you think I’m ridiculous for demanding the company have a CMH base so my sweet a** doesn’t have to commute.

The company isn’t going to go out of its way to build commuter lines if they aren’t contractually obligated too. Just like they arnt going to open a CMH base because they arnt obligated to.

What would be really cool is if we have commuter lines like UPS has. UPS commuter lines are you are essentially home based and they DH you to what ever city they need you and fly you home when you are done. Now that is something that I would vote yes for in a contract!

Beech Nut,

The silent majority agrees with your observations.

Unfortunately, many posters here think "PBS rigs" will magically improve things. The company will find a way around that if (...and it's a big IF at this time...) the company and union implement PBS.

Your only mistake is this: You brought up a subject that actually affects our pay and QOL. How dare you!

Had you brought up Karbon jackets instead, this thread would be 10 pages by now. The spirit group has no patience for things that actually affect their pocketbooks.

Reality.

I'll no longer be feeding the troll Halon as I have him on ignore. I'd advise everyone to do the same. Nothing scares and brings out the ugly side of internet trolls more than being ignored. Their extreme positions and statements are a sad pathetic cry for attention.

"I hope the company makes the trips/lines as miserable as possible since it doesn't say in the contract they have to make any commutable". Yeah, everyone loves a trip that starts at 6 am and ends on day four at 11 PM worth 18 hours.

Your a tool. You haven’t even made one attempt to rebuttal anything I said.

So beech nut thinks I’m a troll because I’m calling him out on him crying that there aren’t commuterlines even though nobody seemed to care about that until now.

Nothing “magical” about it. The new rigs will improve QOL.

You could be right...

Or, perhaps...some of us are less enthusiastic because trip averaging is still in place and the long layover trigger moves from 22 to 24 hours.

You could see 10 hour 3 days, or 20 hour 4-days....start late enough on day 1, and you could see 15 hour 4 days.

And, they have an optimizer set to their specs, not ours.
