Not to distract from the topic at hand, but I believe this could be a defining moment from our union one way or another. If DALPA comes down on the wrong side of this debate they risk alienating many of the pilots, however if DALPA comes off strong and decisive many of us would rally together. I'm all for constructive engagement, but the company has taken it to far with SD's memo. I wouldn't want to be a crew scheduler in the upcoming months. While I will not go out of my way to acknowledge a trip under are 3 hour prior to show contractual obligation, I will certainly not go out of my way to comply with flight ops self-imposed contractual alterations. I think the fact that a flight ops memo was issued before anything from DALPA is telling that the union is pushing back.
