Yeah, they started with a displacement but with 530 pilots the. A week later rescinded the bid and increased it to 600 to put pressure on our MEC. Then a few weeks later rescinded the bid to increase the number of furloughs to continue to put pressure on our MEC.
This, plus the company not wanting to negotiate in good faith, plus ignoring the issues with crew scheduling, crew pay, and crew planning getting away with doing things that benefits them and not following the contract.
Our pilots said to hell with it, hard no to concessions. Quite frankly I was even against temporary relief as the I believe the company overplayed their hand with constant increasing with furlough numbers.
