The company changed their minds after the new contract was signed. Arbitration was set up, and ALPA signed the ADTG LOA instead of going to arbitration. Again, no input from the pilot group.
I understand the frustration of unilaterally signing off on something with no input.

Going back to my earlier question... would a 5 hour per day average rig that included whole days at the hotel solve the problems your currently having in your opinion?
