So 5he MEC feels disrespected. They curtail the SIL's to send a message. 500 SIL's is approx 3% of the pilots. I anticipate that the ALV will be reduced by about 3% or roughly 3 hours per month. So 14500 pilots make 3 hours less in the summer months when they are overstaffed, 500 pilots don't get the month totally off which they desire, so we can draw a line in the sand?
Kinda sounds like lose/ lose ..hopefully the payoff comes in C2020.
What will the MEC do when they utilize every opportunity to put every reserve pilot on max amount of short calls per month in accordance with the contract?
PS
Not a reserve bidder, just wondering how this will play out
