The company has not offered a permanent ALV cut and will not. Shouldn't that end the ALV vs QOL discussion right there? I bet you'd swing 30% of the pilots to the ALV cut side if it were permanent, but THAT'S NOT THE OFFER. It's targeted categories for a time frame of their choosing, and that shouldn't get past any pilot who can raise the gear.
And speaking of improving quality of life, why aren't rotations better? There's plenty of pilots who need landings. Shouldn't they be creating inefficient rotations to create more line holders to create more opportunities for pilots to grab landings? That would raise per diem costs though... so, yeah back to back 5 leg days with 5am sign ins and 2300 sign outs. That's missing the forest for the trees.
Finally, in the age of COVID - why are we flying split rotations? So we can expose as many employees as possible? How about so we can add another threat into cockpits? Why aren't we flying with the same pilots and same FAs for entire rotations? Ask these questions and you'll realize none of the possible answers are to save a pilot's job.
