As far as the rest of your post ... you are making stuff up that I didn't say.
Wouldn't fit into Aeroflot management ... don't speak russian.
You obviously feel strongly about the issue. Instead of complaining and lambasting everyone that explains the pitfalls of an issue, use the process to try and get it fixed in the next contract.
Udachi !
You believe everything you hear? Not making it up, just repeating a rumor, ... Same thing.
Yes I do feel strongly that something benefiting pilots for a couple three decades is suddenly taken away ,over some vague philosophical ideal.
The rumor you heard about Newark had nothing to do with selling trips. It was about a software program a select group had access to for trading.
I would be interested to know what Alpa claims to have gained for giving this up.... Maybe our new vacation bid system?
