The second time it cost them $3 million dollars, split evenly.
The third time, well a huge chunk of the pilot force is out on voluntary leave at half pay. No reserve pilot will break guarantee, the line pilots credit was already accounted and planned for even if they sit home. Nothing changes there.
So what you have is the total amount of credit from the new schedule unequally distributed to a fraction of the pilot group.
I don’t know what the new total credit for May became, but average left and right seat salary at straight time, multiply it by that amount of credit. If that’s less than 3 million, they win.
all fine and dandy. It was probably the best financial decision which is why they did it.
Issue is not that the lineholders got to pick up the scraps of minuscule flying on top of guarantee eventhough the bots are a major problem. It’s the fact that they got released for the month with pay when 900+ guys took a 22hr pay hit for the same privilege. And everyone else that’s on rsv is still responsible for being in position for their long or short call RAPs while the line holders are free from any obligations or get a big pay kicker to work a couple days.
