And I recall the union email saying that the 4 hour MOU is not the reason the trade is denied, even though the reason it lists is the 4 hour MOU. The fact is after months of having crew access on property, if a trip starts more than 4 hours from your start time on the same day you can be guaranteed it will be denied.
Fun story: I mentioned to someone how much I disliked that MOU, and I got the lecture about how that's not why trades are denied, and its really about reserve coverage, blah blah. I then wondered allowed why I was able to trade through 3 trips over a 10 hour period as long as each one was 4 hours or less, while the original trade was denied for just that reason. Huh, strange.
