Not exactly true regarding Commutair. The MEC met with the company and came up with the MOU that outlines everything. The company proposed 55 hour monthly credit across the board, but it would've involved furloughing about 40% of our pilots, along with a number of concessions to our already weak CBA. The MEC countered with no concessions and a couple options on monthly credit, and way less furloughs. Unfortunately, we still had to furlough about 20% of our pilots. Overall, it could have been a lot worse considering we lost 60% of our flying.
