Dynamic snap backs based on demand metrics compared to 2019 demand #’s
costs the company more money than a straight furlough
flexibility to quickly recover
11k LTD permanent after 6 months
1st Class DH - permanent after 6 months
RSV rules - permanent after 6 months
Decent pay raise after 6 months
bottom 1/3rd displacements ARE NOT cancelled
snap up metrics are based on Load Factor, not revenue
the decrease in MPG goes up starting at 60% LF
I want to start this off by saying that I’m not making any preconceived notions and I WILL NOT make a decision until I read the entire content of any LOA that might reach our pilots for MR. I was in the sticks with limited data coverage for the past six days. I’m just trying to catch up on the rumors (ya know pure unsubstantiated truth).
On the surface, with the top 33% only taking a 10% reduction in MPG, the next third 20%, and the bottom third 50% reduction seems unfair. Having said that, the 3900 furloughs are approximately 1/3 of our pilots. So the bottom third (which I’m part of) is forced to make a decision to make half pay or no pay (if furloughed). The top third would be sacrificing 10% whereas if this TA were to fail MR, they would take no cut.
If the rumors are true, the top 2/3 would have their displacements cancelled. Bottom third would still get displaced.
$11K LTD is nice
RSV changes is good depending on what they actually amount to.
All DH in FC = whateves (not really a big deal)
Pay raise??? What???
The snap backs are the most critical part of this. Especially a snap back prior to entering bankruptcy (if that exists in this TA?).
