All our 777's have bunks and the 737 did not give up the 1st class seat for rest(yes, the aircraft does 3 man international turns that are very popular). Of course, all the union negotiators were 737 pilots. Our 756 group took the largest hit without a doubt. Again, we need to base all on board crew rest facility contractual language on the s-UAL contract.
You speak well for the CAL MEC and seem to have a good handle on the CAL contract, current TPA deal and CAL administration. Are you management, CAL MEC or LEC rep?
