So why should we give up not having to check in (and a multitude of other bigger things), just so the company can get over on us? Because you have to and therefore we must take that concession as well? Here is an idea, instead of you guys trying to bring us down to your contract, why don't you help us try to bring you up to our contract?

So yeah, if you perceive that to mean that we want to do whatever we want (we don't we just like our work rules the way they are), then that's your issue for you to get over.

Which at that point you are required to contact scheduling. It's been this way for almost 10
years with no detriment to completion factor.

What airlines specifically? Even so, if we don't do it any it's been working for almost ten years, why would we want to required that for the other 2/3 of our pilots? This is but one small QOL concession among many other huge ones that one side is ok to have the other take. When it should be the other way around!
