The removal of offline flights as a viable commuting option is a huge negative for NYC especially. What percentage of NYC based pilots use an offline commute as part of their plan with a Delta backup? How many former Dallas pilots commute on American with a Delta backup?
How many pilots are stuck with an AE from the last few bids they would not consider under the revised policy? I'll start the count at 1.
I agree its a messed up rewrite. Non-sensical really.
But DALPA has nothing to do with the FOM. I'm sure there is a reason someone made a bad decision on the fourth floor to get a promotion. again. Like the dude that took transponders and beacons off the pushback checklist.
