I wouldn't say that the "Chevy vs. Ford" analogy is accurate. The reason I say this is, have you read the ASA CBA to include the PBS LOA? Start with the "Scheduling" section, then go to the "Hours of Service" section after that for starters. Although there is language in there that has good intent, there's ALSO A ALOT of "management discretion", "operational necessity", etc type language that creates holes for maximum management exploitation. Similar what the original Contract 2004 had until many of them got closed up via MOUs and LOAs. And lets face it, doesn't matter if it's XJT or ASA. It's safe to say the MORE pilots get their info here, FI, as well as the respective crackpipes than ACTUALLY contacting their reps. So putting out info here, or elsewhere can do NO harm what so ever. For those that are bothering to inform themselves as well as listen anyway.

Here, as well as other places. Strange, don't think I ever saw anybody take the offer.
