I get what you are saying, but why should the union give it as a freebie? What about making it permanent then if company wants to increase it, then fine use it as leverage for contract 20xx? Not sure I’m a fan of targeted ALV without commensurate duty obligations or more. Seems better for furloughed pilots to have across the board ALV.
Sorry if this point has already been made thousands of posts prior! Disregard then
