No matter what, it is far far worse than the measly 150 or so pilots affected that they threw to us at the MEC meeting. Every FO gets affected by this as well as junior CAs as game theory takes hold and bidding strategies change as premium pay is cut.
they should've just said " no GS if you get removed from a LCA trip". that would be bad too and I still would vote no, but at least it would seem to affect their target instead of every FO. There seems to be another motive here, but I'm not sure what it is. Perhaps if we send this back, that's their plan B and then we will view it as a win even though it isn't.
