You sure about that? You sure a 5 hour min duty period wasn’t also the final ALPA proposal as well? The only difference being that ALPA wanted implementation on day 1 and the company wanted it when PBS was implemented. You sure? Because the ALPA NC website says they are both 5 hours for the min duty period.
It’s unknown if/what ALPA will ask for in the form of a min duty period with any inclusion in PBS, but as of now, the last ALPA proposal had a 5 hour min duty period, as did the company.
I won’t end with some smart “educate yourself” line like you chose to. Instead I suggest you visit the Spirit ALPA website and review the final offer we gave to the company and where we differ and where we agree. This is our most recent offer we presented. Guess what, we both have presented 5 hour min duty days. So the statement of it not being an ALPA proposal is inaccurate.
