And what's to stop the company from reducing the schedules below 81 hours, thus negating the 130% override? They could easily hire more pilots, reduce the hours on each of our schedules which gets rid of Mission Mode. Then kiss our 130% and 200% overrides goodbye. I'm not seeing anything in this TA that prevents the company manipulating the schedules. Who wrote this thing?
It seems some want no single days, and conversely you want to be assured of 81 plus hours? umm, just like mgt, we want it all both (all) ways. In a 20ish pilot (small) base especially, it appears to be a mathematical impossibility to accomplish the schedules some want, no single days off, at an airline that only flies day trips and has very low trip count on a few days a week.
It kind of is what it is here, it will never be SWA of DAL. I don't think it is possible to get want people are wanting.
