Gathering this "evidence" takes man power, which the company is too lazy to provide. So get us to fix it. And they get the bone us of creating a nightmare for all of us and many will simply fly sick. Brilliant!

But that is the catch. The company simply wants us to fix this problem. And they want to do so with onerous plans that affect all of us negatively. So since they have the ability to bring this evidence forward and terminate the abusers, you have to ask why they want to fix this so called abuse.

In my opinion it is not really about the few abusers. The company wants to create more efficiencies in their favor. This is but one more item to give them greater pilot utilization.

And what do our Moakist union boys do? Jump right on it for the company. Sheep.
