I know our contract says (or used to say) the 'cap' (ALV now?) had to be at 75 hours for 3 months, prior to any furlough, which was to keep guys from flying 'too much' with guys on furlough. It would be nice if we could also get put into our contract this time around, that as soon as we enter Mediation, there will be NO GREENSLIPPING or FLYING OVER THE ALV!
OR, if guys won't give up their GS gravy train, perhaps it should specify that EVERY GS will be With Conflict only once we enter Mediation, until we've approved a new contract. Not at TA, but a successful membership ratification.
If that violates Status Quo, then perhaps we should have it written in that the GSWC ONLY flying will begin 3 months prior to exchange of contract openers.
