My personal perspective is I want any reliefs very carefully spelled out in black and white so we don't have to wade through the grey area.
Agreed. This type of flying can benefit both sides so discussion is good. These new aircraft (787-9/10, A350 & 777-3er) can open up alot of new markets but ULH Flying brings new issues to the table. Rather have a workable agreement in place vs. canceling flights with 100's of pax stranded.
I do sometimes wonder if we are re-inventing the wheel. We can and should find out how DAL (ALPA) does it, and also reach out to see what AA has.
But in the end, I feel that this issue plus the Scope issue is why the company is looking for a deal.
