I understand that the original deal was different than the one you (or I) would have wanted them to make, but are you really OK with management simply voiding the previous deal when they change their minds or - alternatively - that ‘bait and switch’ had always been the going in plan?
Like most airline agreements unless it was written into the CBA, you’re at the whims of what mgt decides to do. Historically speaking, flow agreements never really worked out. Now it’s a changing tide with AA taking lots of their wholly owned flow pilots. I’m not surprised at this change, after all the goal is to keep both seats filled at the regional.
How was Pathways written? Into your offer letter, the CBA, or just some side letter best effort thing by mgt? If it’s the latter, they almost always have a weasel clause that allows the program to be modified as necessary by mgt.
