I wasn't even on property during this period but a lot of the old guard has told stories of the haves and have nots of 4.A.2.b.
You’re getting your facts confused. There was an agreement made sometime after 4.A.2b was implemented to add the gates you mentioned. These were added to the 2015 contract.
I have no idea what you are talking about in regards to the MD11 FO flying. It is widely agreed that the MEM MD11 FOs held the line in 2006 and helped push the company to the table.
As far as 2015 goes, many of us found it unbelievable the union brought the proposal to a vote. This essentially took peak out of play when we were incredibly undermanned. And even worse, the majority voted for it. Interesting enough, you can’t find anyone that voted for it now...
