Why? Have we negotiated something already? How was it used previously? Were any of you here when open time did pay 150%?


Being that we're not even negotiating yet, I wouldn't rule anything out.
I guess he already assumes that the NC is going to negotiate a reduction of days off. Love the new blood onboard.

Yes, sorry to hear it's full. It was the only pad I found while down there that didn't require a car.

I'm bidding 11 out of 34 in ACY, how risky is it bidding a line with a trip on Christmas hoping I can dump it in Initial?

About as risky as falling asleep with a grenade in one hand and the pin in the other. Just bid Xmas off if you can.

I know I know. I'd be Gaurenteed to get a killer transition conflict but you're right, probably not a good idea.

I know what's going to happen. I'll have it off and it will be +10 on Christmas day, gaurenteed

That's what happened to me with thanksgiving but I don't regret it. Too risky for my blood.

I love the moral delima created with the transition conflict. Sacrifice your whole month including Christmas Day to get it. It's like a devil on my shoulder every month

You don't have to negotiate it. It's already 13. Nothing stopping them from giving everyone 13

I did not say that, and certainly hope not.

If the NC negotiates 150% back without concessions, well done, as long as crew planning does not reduce to min days off.
150% might create an incentive to reduce days off.
I was not here when we had 150%, but I have been involved in negotiations, so I tend to be overly cautious...
The pilot group vote is the final say.

I welcome the return of 150%, but not at the cost of losing days off.
