Envoy is pulling 145s out of the desert, clearly they're staffing. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU WANT THIS TO HAPPEN?? Demand the MEC to take the deal, email them NOW! THE OFFER IS STILL THERE. TAKE WHAT YOU CAN GET NOW.
Go for contract gains later, like in June when we meet with the company to renegotiate the flow.
We are staffed for the rest of the year, including the next 10 or so 900s that haven't arrived yet. PDT and PSA said no to the bonuses because FO attrition isn't an issue like at Envoy, if it becomes an issue in the future then they might think about it or better yet use that leverage to make improvements for everyone like Endeavor did.
