Can we really say "industry leading" scope? I think Southwest has much better, maybe we are second?

Scope is bottom ended (RJs-capacity purchase agreements) and top ended (widebodies-codesharing (and possibly RJs/JetSuiteX via codeshare instead of a capacity purchase agreement)).

The premium FCFS window is at the "company's discretion". The company has the ability to turn on 150% open time now, has since PEA 2013 when they "removed the trigger". Yeah, they've turned it on ONCE since 2013.........

Same skepticism should be taken toward 75% OE pairings withheld. That means 100% in JB world.

Company in private meeting- We need 3,000 hours of OE next month.

Company to ALPA- "We need 4,500 hours of OE next month, so we are withholding 3375 hours of FO check airmen time from the FO bid.

Result, what 25%?

At least I'll get another 3k profit sharing check after an amazingly profitable year!

Oh, and at least I get less vacation to make up for it.
