Assuming we agree to provide relief for that, what will the LC leash end up being? What will the earliest SC a pilot can get on day one end up being after all this? Will we have any "mandatory schedule checks" on a day off like before? Until all that is fixed, there should be no piggy bank approach for a company wide payoff especially when its the reserve pilots that are doing all the work on the front lines with this mess.
I disagree with that as a simple characterization.
Reserve pilots are the group that is bringing the company to the negotiating table, but 117 is a gigantic QOL hit for lineholders too.
(I know tiniest fiddle playing for me) In my category, almost every trip was worth 8+ hours per 24hrs away from base. It is now about 6. That's a pretty significant QOL hit. I am sure in other categories they are affected in a similar way.
What any of this has to do with a pilot who couldn't do a stall recovery is beyond me.
