Had the SDPs been kept, then absolutely it should have gone to memrat. In fact I emailed my reps urging them to do exactly that (as a minimum) before the SDPs were finally deleted.
No work rule changes were made, except in our favor. Nothing was changed at all, except in our favor. The only thing the company got was a firm set of ground rules for themselves as they assign flying to reserves. They paid dearly for those clear cut rules.
I applaud the entire MEC. I don't think sending this to memrat was a dealbreaker in its current form.
We will now schedule to FAR max instead of contractual max. Prepare to be scheduled for 13:30 duty days. That is a concession that will be used to reduce credit with our new 5:15 ADG.
