The flying public cares about the fact that flights cancel for lack of crews not how many hours the company claims it's pilots are flying. Friday night in EWR CAL canceled/delayed international flights like it was a commuter airline.
Honestly I think the union response to this drivel should be nothing. By responding it would lend credence to this spin having a hair of truth.
I agree. There is no penalty for the company doing something so blatant but watch how fast they would be all over ALPA if the reverse were true. They can inflame all they want, doesn't mean we have to take the bait.
BTW: love that catchy new title "sub-Continental".
Kind of goes with our pay and work rules: "sub-standard" right?
