Appropriations is a bad example. The company wanted them, and that is why they were offered. The Union has no method on forcing the company to negotiate something it does not care about. The first opportunity to do so is the limited reopener later this year.
Based on some credible sources, QT does not seem to be very important for the pilot group to negotiate for.
They won't approve it unless the Envoy "business unit" requests it now. So we either wait for a change of heart or use the contract to get them to request it. A limited reopener sounds like the perfect opportunity. I think most people want QT and should make it known to the union. But that's ultimately the choice Envoy crew members get to make.
