Of course not, so why are we signing a blank check when it comes to VB? Sure we can stop payment on the check later on, but there could be some unpleasantness while it all gets sorted out.
See my above post. Your point makes zero sense. It's a contractually required trip coverage step. It's like step nine out of twenty plus steps in the ladder. If the company failed to do it any pilot assigned the trip from a lower ladder position would have a valid grievance. Our contract MANDATES the company to do it.
