It might be because the LUAL pilots like know what the hell is going on. We could actually see the maintenance status of the jets we flew. We could see what the crew desk was doing to us. They actually had to document changes to our schedules. We knew where the jet was going next which might determine whether we accepted an MEL. We knew when we were supposed to get crew meals (actually a contract item, go figure). We actually knew where to go to get the van to the hotel. The pickup times from the hotel were readily available. We knew the sequence of the FIFO list. We were aware when the crew desk was running amuck of the contract. We were actually able to determine violations of the contract and we grieved them.
Is that enough? I could go on. Or, in contrast we could waive it. Your call.
