These are honorable folks, right? It would just save a lot of time for the new guys who are coming on board if it was out in the open. How do you fellas do it? Please share!
Sounds like NK should make scheduling transparency a priority in the contract discussions. At most airlines (legacies) you can see exactly who was awarded what by scheduling so you can police it by crying foul when scheduling bypasses your opportunity for whatever reason.
