And, it's the same bone that was ours to begin with. You following me? They manipulate MOUs and contractual language on a whim to get what they want. They push this pilot group to its limits and throttle back when it hurts them, the management. The Trip Trade Inquiry desk is/was a negotiated benefit and what did management do with it? They did away with it when Crew Access replaced emaestro and denied every single inquiry. Now, all of a sudden they want to make it right?!?! Why do you think? And why do we have over 300 outstanding grievances that they want to all of a sudden address? Bait and switch, remember!
