My thoughts are, you are floating another lead trial balloon for DALPA.
My thoughts are, only a hardened hack would attempt to spin the concession of longer freezes as a positive by promoting it as "fewer trips to Virginia Avenue."
You appear to have abandoned all pretense of being a neutral line pilot unaffiliated with DALPA. Or are you still trying to obfuscate your intent?
You're forgetting the software issues though. Everyone knows software can only be programmed to give us our end in due time, while it can be instantly programmed to give the company its end. That's just basic computer science. Coming to a tablet near you. Eventually. Maybe.
Oh and we also gave them "voicemail notification" for the first time ever. And we gave up 2 hours of day one start time, going down to FAR minimums and calling it a victory over the old 5am because the old 5am was illegal, 10am was the soonest legal, and we were sitting on 12pm. In their defense though, we were going to give that up with our without paying to remove the CDO's the company supposedly didn't care about, pilots didn't even know was an issue anyway and which may be back soon anyway.
Wait, what?
