You seem like a very intelligent guy but you get caught up in these rants over and over again, the sky isn't falling but you sure make it out to be....
You pointed out zero inconsistencies. I never said the company was going broke. Far from it. The company can afford to give a few guys per category month after month after month off simply for lawyer bidding. Heck they could hire and carry an additional 1000 pilots beyond today's count for the same amount of flying and have a yearly lottery where 1000 pilots get the year off with full pay and still be profitable and not go broke.
The issue is with all the areas in our contract that are still lacking, why are we giving such a tiny micro empire such a massive windfall while the vast majority of lineholders and reserves still need significant improvements elsewhere?
No, the sky isn't falling over this. Far from it. But long before we entertain little windfall empires over this, we need to fix other areas in our work rules. The recovery thing itself was born from a concession, as I'm sure you are aware.
