To the lurkers:

Read the LOA language yourself and then ask yourself why a rep, particularly an FO rep, would vote against any of this. The LOA's provided voluntary options for pilots and permanent improvements to our PWA.

The LOA names say it all:

LOA #20-03 – Voluntary Scheduling Options

LOA #20-04 – Furlough Avoidance


Do not confuse "a great pilot advocate" with someone that tells you what you want to hear. It's always popular to tell someone that they can get "more".

A responsible rep eventually has to decide not to let perfect be the enemy of good; collecting (in this case) permanent gains and protections for his pilots.

The question is, why did he vote no?

Will he be able to add value to the PWA going forward when faced with a similar situation (for example, a TA)?
