Very disappointing:

MEC Alert 13-21 reads like a company bulletin. It goes over the company's new rule interpretation and then lays out the punishment you can expect if you don't follow the new policy.

The "in our view" sentence is weak and does not inspire much confidence in the union position.

I don't think this Alert is going to give fortitude to many reserve pilots to ignore those threatening calls from scheduling to acknowledge 10 hours prior.
