Our contract specifies a third crew member is required on international flights duty periods with block over 7:35.
The only way that goes away if we vote it away.
You live in a fantasy world if you think our CBA will eventually override FARs.
If the company is expected to comply with everything associated with 117 because it’s science based,why do you think they won’t expect compliance with portions that don’t work in our favor?
The same science based data you claim will save us can be used against us.
When we enter into negotiations with the company expecting all the wonderful aspects of 117 to be folded into our new CBA, why do you can think they’ll ignore the portions that work in their favor?
35 minutes under the FAR maximum is a big difference from science based data that allows them to increase that by 1:55 because the same science we’re holding them to suddenly allows a much different limit to the same situation.
