Therefore the 30% long call goes away until they can negotiate it again.
If you've got a long term training event in April or beyond, I'd count this as a win. If you've got reserve in April and beyond, you may count this as a loss. Depends on your perspective.
I've said it before. No software investment will solve the training problems. The company has got to address the terrible job CAE does on the sims. I'm afraid they've been training in that MSP facility so long they just can't imagine doing anything else. I'm not sure how long we've been using the PHX facility, but it is also an absolute mess .
Hopefully the union can step up and point this out to the company. Solving this problem will benefit both the pilots and company.
