There are no handshake deals with this management. The pilot group wanted the LOA (by a pretty considerable margin), so they got it.
Really, the pilot group wanted it??
How was this determined? What were the numbers?
NO one I have talked to thought the hours were reasonable. Sure, “if it works for you take it, other wise don’t”. They would get a lot more takers if the hours were more realistic. Everyone I have discussed this with said, not for that when I can get paid 75 to sit reserve and not fly.
