It wasn't in the survey, either. Nor were LCA trip pulls.
This speaks to a massive failure of the strategic planning guys. They tried to include in the survey every single concession the company might want.
They knew full well the survey would never be released. As long as every possible concession was addressed on the survey, they could politically claim such-and-such concession wasn't "a priority" for pilots to retain.
They neglected to anticipate the company's moves. They were caught flat-footed, and are scrambling to recover.
A total failure by Harwood. He'll try to cover his incompetence by cramming this down our throats.
