CST Guy,
With the current surplus in mainline, people would be falling over each other to fly the supposed 777 airframes however I, like Keg, will believe it when I see it.
When it comes to conditions, AIPA are only trying to preserve what we have under relentless attack from company management. I guess you would advocate undercutting other pilots and giving up all overtime to get the gig.
Sadly, eventually people like you will prevail, mainline will become a thing of the past, you'll comfort yourselves by saying we deserved it and then bitch about what crap conditions you're on.
