If you could show a trend on open sims and also show availability of PIs, then I guess you could try to grieve it. Just not sure under what provision.
Good luck.

ALPA disagrees with your interpretation. It's being grieved, and I was just trying to help folks by arming them with the facts, and at the same time be subtle so as not to bring too much focus on ALPA.
I must say I am becoming increasingly tired of the stupidity on the internet. People simply are unable to read the sub-context of my posts, and worse yet as is indicated by your post, and the myriad of posts on my 45 minute thread, pilots won't even stick up for their rights as outlined by the contract. The company "CANNOT" give you a 10-2 sim if they have another sim session open. The contract does not say the company CAN with hold a sim for their benefit.
The company is beginning to put the screws to the pilots, and 20 years ago my mentors taught me how to respond. Today with a third CAL guys and a third new guys, I fear the response from the pilot group will not be unified or appropriate. This is but one example that should be a slam dunk.
We are in contract negotiations, and Kirby is stepping up the pressure. How are YOU responding? Do you know your contract?
