Tell me how the operation is being disrupted when there are zero time lines, pilots sitting at home on reserve for an entire month without being called, inefficient schedules, etc;
If management thinks that our operation will be disrupted in the current environment, then what type of environment do you envision where it won't be disrupted?
Read the contract again. It's 50% metered to 30. If they want to meter to 30 they can and they don't have to have a good reason to do so. The overstaffed argument is fine, and should be made. But contractually they are doing nothing wrong. For much of 2015 100% of AA classes were Envoy flows. So it's not like they are trying to pick on anyone..but if playing victim makes you feel better then by all means...
