Good for you! Who do you fly for?
Tell them they can cancel the effin' displacement bid too.Got a call that went to VM tonight from crew scheduling. They asked if I would like to pickup some flying tomorrow. Mind you I have almost 80 guys beneath me in base. Our company also has 70 guys on the street.
Needless to say, I didn't call them back
Disregarding the furlough issue for a moment, why wouldn't scheduling offer the senior guys extra flying before the junior guys? Seems if they're going to offer the ability to make a little extra scratch the senior guys should have that opportunity first.They asked if I would like to pickup some flying tomorrow.

Usually when it is next day it is first come first serve.Disregarding the furlough issue for a moment, why wouldn't scheduling offer the senior guys extra flying before the junior guys?

Historic experience and glancing at N3DO/... proved that that was NOT the case at American Eagle Airlines.You don't fly extra no matter for how much if you got guys on the street

Dont do it for anything less than 200% pay
All for one; more for me.Hell a quick look at the N3D and it looks like we have ton of guys picking up OT at only 120%.

I'm pretty sure the nuts over at Eagle Lounge have determined it's "those ALPA guys" already.Can you see what seniority level is picking it up? Is it the young ones or more senior pilots?
If they are calling you at home, DON'T ANSWER.That is BS, and if they call you at home ( no one on the street) always fire back with 100% more than they are offering. I know of guys that got 300-400% when we were continuously offering 200%. If they need your help so bad they will pay. We even had a CDO line that was actually legal rest so people would have scheduling split it into 2 duty periods and pay at 200%, 16 hours for 2 legs isnt bad. All that goes out the window with furloughs though. Tell them to call those guys to pick it up.

Educate me on this, please. It seems to me that occasional extra flights- even if they average one a day- are not going to be enough to cause dozens of furloughed pilots to be rehired (and, of course, retrained). Why would it work that way?
