We can't give them any room in Pay,Retirement, Scope.
I am new here, and I know I should probably just call my rep and ask this, but since you brought up scheduling I was wondering why we haven't cancelled some of these MOU's.
The MOU where we cannot trade a trip if it has more than a 4 hour start time difference... it says either party may cancel it with 30 days notice. I had an afternoon 3-day trip and was trying to trade for a morning 3-day trip on the exact same days. Reserve coverage was NEGATIVE in the morning and positive in the afternoon so it would have actually benefited the company!... denied due to the MOU.
It seems ridiculous to me... the only thing that should affect trading is reserve coverage.
