One could say; this aspect of the contract was going away regardless, while the other was used to the point in which the company viewed it as an issue to their inability to use a reserve pilot. They were both contractually compliant, however, one was perceived by many as a sacrificial lamb for a new contract, while the other was sacrificed due to the company’s argument to the NMB, and the union had no rebuttal.....
