Reps did not know if CS would award the proffer, even if you had the seniority to be awarded it.
In the past yes (pre 2016), but what they currently would do? couldn’t tell you.
The reserve rules are so loose and so conflicted that they essentially can do as they please... which is why they aren’t in any hurry to fix it. They’ve been “working to fix it” or promising to fix it since 2012. Yet the MEC staffing bandaids continued to flow.
Herb & Juan had probably the best rewrite thus far done. When it was posted for 10 days the pilots found every loophole the company had left themselves, and then the company refused to clear up the language closing the loopholes. That LOA, loopholes and all, was still way better than what we had, but on the cusp of a pilot shortage it wasn’t good enough. Now, with bandaids flowing freely, it’s doubtful the next rewrite will be as good.
I’d pull that one out, dust it off, close the loopholes and send it to the company as a last best final offer, and no new deals until it’s signed.
Then stick to it.
