For the record, Sabre was given a laundry list of items and requests of how long to turn on, they gave us times on almost all but could not reasonably pinpoint a few.....hence the backstop date of Dec 2019.
The company fought for years to lessen the grip of the Return to OSP language, which is by far industry leading. Also, the company has a strong desire to fly to Europe, so Section 14 is extremely important to them. Both of those items are restricted until ALL of our stuff we want is turned on.
Which is why we have the leverage to bargain for a far better TA 2, besides the fact of a historical record breaking economy, pilot shortage, etc...
Now is the time to demand treatment as a professional.
