There was nothing in any of the previous contracts preventing this either. Let me know what other airlines have language that would’ve prohibited this.
Wrong!
It's quite known on the FB page who I am.
Never said there was any language, but there should be language for any item that operates under a status quo like the pairings do/did. The LOA that was voted in, are happy enough with it to live under that LOA for 4-5 years? Because that is what is likely going to happen. We have no leverage whatsoever currently against the company. They gave us more money than the Union was even asking for. We have classes filled a year out, they are going to be in no hurry to get a LOA, let alone a full contract signed.
And for the record, I'm okay with the long overnights. If they are willing to pay me 6 hours to go lay on a beach, hike, kayak, bike, whatever else I can think up to do in that time, let them!
