Pilots had figured out how to trip trade prior to the PBS award blackout and use the contract to their advantage with month end carryover. The MEC gives away this ability with an LOA in exchange for what? Nothing. Great the 50 hour floor is gone, I still can’t drop a single trip due to “no coverage.” So more BS.
Why are we giving stuff away during a full section six via LOA? This should’ve been fixed in the next contract, but no the company is winning on side letters so why would they ever expedite the next contract?
