Did you see the thread on the other forum (not the scab one) titled something like "forced to take a paycut!"?
I can accept your observation on days worked as one of the outcomes from the lack of a waiver, for some pilots. However, the fact still remains that the waiver was no longer needed and the contractual parameters are being followed. Does that mean it's a change for some? No doubt, but having the company adhere to the contract is the desired goal right?
If anything it shows how forked up the company has been in its fleet and marketing planning for these past 5 years.
