If this is the context you want to twist it to that is fine but it’s all out there for everyone to read and C16 never advocated to take any of your in base flying. Context matters…
but when being outraged on the forums it doesn’t help your narrative so we will let you continue on…
We like our Latin America that you guys get to snag as well when Europe isn’t seasonal. Maybe we should cut that off and you can head down to ATL for the winter and help us out flying 75’s to RSW 11x a day?
Either way the point of the C16 email was not to change the way we make pairings since they are always complex. It was more to get us to question why a base would get double-DH’s to fly to Europe when we had a massive amount of crews overnighting in those airports (and flew those intl trips pre-Covid) all while also losing your own in base international flying that you’ve always had to same said out of base. Imagine the scenario if that was reversed.
