Illini,
We can go one step further. We can see the entire cascading effect of pulling 75% of the LCA's trips has for EVERY FO, by just by re-running old months and printing the reports as if it was a current bid under their new proposal. If they squawk about not being able to replace the 25% yet, we can just randomize it. I would hope that ALPA would have been smart enough to have done this already. However the "this would only affect 180 FOs" comment is unbelievable. I'm willing to bet that 75% of every FO's bid is changed somewhat, and every FO can evaluate how it affects his personal QOL. Cheers.
