Ever stop to think some of your fellow pilots (unless you're management, of course) might be overseas or otherwise unplugged for a few days and won't know about the position notice until it's too late? There's a reason we negotiated these provisions into our contract, and for the union to arbitrarily give them back with nothing in return is shameful and inexcusable. As is your attitude.

Five more days won't kill the operational integrity.
