In talking to a couple of reps I have been told the company is planning on reroutes and inverse assignments to manage this until negotiations are complete. They feel that they will use this as a scare tactic as well as a way to put pressure on us, the line pilots, to get what they want out of this. So far we have not given anything on this issue.
If you are on a NB starting in January expect reroutes.
We haven't given anything? Why would we give anything in the first place? Abide by the PWA and 117.
Oh, forgot, we don't have any negotiating power on this...if the company wants relief then we have to give it to them or this fleeting opportunity will flitter away.
As far as the trips I look at it as I do the MD-88: It can't get any worse because I don't know anything better than what it is currently.
