ALPA sent out some word in the last week that China will be labeled “disputed”.
So we are bad boys if we pick up an XTRA pairing with China in it? Or being awarded a China pairing out of the bid pack? Seems unavoidable for 777, maybe avoidable for MD.
Not trying to start a ****ing match. Just haven’t been in property long enough to see regular disputed pairings. Thanks.
AFAIK, the China trips are just coded as "disputed" to ensure that the SLG doesn't assign them without specifically asking for it. It is not "disputed" in the traditional sense of SIG/PSIT disputed.
