The DALPA blast email detailing how pilots can call off China trips was telling.

If I read it right, drop with no pay for line holders, drop with no harm/no foul for reserve pilots. I wonder if staffing flights is becoming an issue?

Between this email, and the news story that American Airlines pilots are suing their own company to quit flying to China, I’m guessing that the public (and pilot/flight attendant) appetite for China flying is going to dry up for awhile.
