Am I missing something here?

Let's assume, for discussion purposes, that the LOA gets voted down by the membership. What then? SIBA ... I would assume. That would include double-deadheads to both Europe and Asia. Asia dh's are 2 days each direction plus crew rest time (at least 5 nonproductive positioning days EVERY month, plus TONS of WorldPerks miles!). SIGN ME UP! If that happens IT WILL GO VERY SENIOR and cost the company more than the LOA costs.

This SIBA option works for me 2 ways. Maybe I'll be senior enough to hold this good deal ... or ... more likely, guys senior to me will bid it and I'll be relatively more senior in the rest of the MD-11/MD-10 flying.

So ... I'll ask again, what am I missing here?
