What I was told by a MEC member twice was the MEC was briefed either late Summer or early Fall. The briefing was held in open session (so ask any reps for confirmation). The briefing was conducted by the crew rest committee I believe they are called the CROC committee.

Rest facility is too small, bunks were cut narrow and overall space and associated crew rest seat woefully unacceptable. Company counterparts agreed with ALPA CROC. Apparently very unlikely Airbus can make any significant changes tried one with another carrier but didn't yeild any better results.

I'm told, again and please verify with one of your reps. That 350 crew rest is non compliant with UPA and FAR 117. We can prevent 350 flying in any augmented legs st UAL. Was told by this rep that DAL and AA language wasn't as strong as ours and most likely their union will support with their companies a waiver from FAA, but our MEC will not.

That's all I know talk to any rep for verification and more info.
