Two of the biggest issues I've found include lack of awareness when it comes to industry standard and lack of understanding of our own contractual language. After the first system bid conducted under the CBA2015 language (System Bid 18-01) I discovered that my block rep, the ALPA legal team, and even those who negotiated Section 24 did not fully understand how it worked. Original response to my issues included, "that's not how it works." Later those responses changed to, "well that's the language in the contract now." Unless you are directly impacted no one seems to care, it didn't make ALPA's list for CBA2021 despite a grievance having to be filed on behalf of many FO's. Section 24 is the most restrictive of its kind in the industry and nothing has been done to correct the mistake of allowing it into CBA2015. As to other QOL issues, most potential new hires do not ask what things like reserve callout times because there is a false assumption that an airline like Purple would have better work rules than the regional airline industry and yet here we are and there is little appetite to attempt an improvement of these sections.

Some of the items complained about by Purple pilots surrounding hours of service (to include reserve call out time which is a duty day issue overall) were moved along by Part 117 rest rules for the pax carriers. These improvements took very little bargaining capital for ALPA.
