What's the rumor going around about ALPA agreeing to fly extra sections if Virgin pilots "flying the contract" causes disruptions?
I'd hope Delta pilots would not be willing to fly these extra sections if that's the case. In the name of "unity" of course.
Why are you here again? Here's the quote from ATW:
“The company has been notified, as required by law, that this will begin on Dec. 23,” a PPU spokeswoman said. “The action will see a removal of ‘pilot goodwill,’ with pilots who are members of the PPU working strictly to their contract.”
The new union warned that the action―which stops short of a strike―could continue indefinitely, and could result in some flights not being fully staffed.
It's not a strike, it's not even a job action against Speedbird, it's an attempt to switch unions. This is the equivalent of the DPA cornholes calling for a "no overtime" campaign, which they did in 2015, and which got their Dear Leader 30 days off the schedule.
