Look, it's tempting to say that we can work with them, but we all know that crew skeds will do anything to cover a trip. What you are suggesting here is that the pilot group voluntarily give up a key quality of life provision in our contract for zero quid, simply because they said so.

Well, sorry, that's not going to work for me. And nobody has the right to tell me to do that. I paid for this contract. If the company wants a rolling 2 hour short call leash, then they'll need to negotiate in good faith for it.

And yes, I am confident that every grievance would be won. Slam dunk. The company simply will have to staff with IAs,

You think if a DAL says we will now give 19 hours notice for long call assignments and we insist on acknowledging NLT 3 hours we would win that as a slam dunk? Really"?


GS, and short call until this is resolved. And nothing stops a pilot from acknowledging a trip outside the 10 hour window, he simply has the option not to, per the contract, or to be doing something else, such as commuting in for a trip.

What other sections of the contract would you like to ignore?
