Doing a bit of reading it looks like we are guaranteed a rest seat in Mint. Mint style crew meals etc etc.
I hope ur not too impressed by the company giving you a Mint seat. For FDPs to be extended under augmentation provisions you need to be provided a seat with at least 40 degrees of recline. So the only seats in the fleet (currently) would have to be a Mint seat, which would qualify as a class 2 rest facility. Look up the definitions for class 1,2 and 3 rest facilities. I sure hope not one ounce of negotiating capital was expended for that line! I would’ve much rather have seen a nugget in there about a prohibition on domestic augmented operations.
