Each and every time it’s been their genuine intent to negotiate positive changes to the reserve system.
It will never happen while the MEC continues handing them bandaids.
They aren’t giving you this because you deserve it. They are giving the absolute minimum they have to in order to keep a sufficient number of new hires coming in the door.
You finally have leverage. Don’t waste it. Call your LEC reps. Have them tell the company the same as the company did to them on the AIP... we’re sorry, it turns out this is a significant change requiring a pilot vote. Pull it back from them the way they did to you. Then vote no.
This is your opportunity. The opportunity here is to get back the full 50% of all AA new hire positions language for everybody in addition to the raises and decent reserve rules.
