Have you been informed of this? Were you allowed to provide your two cents into it? No- it was swept under the rug. Wouldn't this have been a great opportunity to gain something in return? I sure think so.
Well, that cost me and other F/O's an upgrade and thousands of dollars in our pockets! Thank you MEC for at least sending something out about it requesting some sort of membership feedback! NOOOT! Taking 10 aircraft quickly would require some temporary relief on some contract items for the sake of growth. MEC, what do you think? Again, thanks for telling us, the LINE PILOTS, about this....
