Other discussion revolved around mid-day rest assignment, fatigue calls, extensions, etc. Maybe someone that was also here will chime in on his talk with us to fill my gaps.
I hope they understand that the company will want some cost savings in other areas. I'm not saying it is reasonable, I am saying it is what they will want. ALPA needs to be ready to say no. The economy is on our side right now but the contract is on the company's side. They will only reopen the contract if they think they can mitigate costs and extend the contract into the next recession.
