Management and/or ALPA should have been all over this to provide clarification. There are going to be hundreds of ASAP reports. The FAA is going to be very interested and will investigate. (I’ve worked with the FAA/FSDO extensively in the past) Make sure you received legal rest after going 16+ hours on duty before accepting a new trip. The company can put a letter in your file; the FAA can pull your certificate. Choose wisely. Neither will have your back if you make the wrong decision.
at the very least, our union leaders should have been all over this high-profile event. what the h3ll are we paying them for? we fly the freight, and pay our “leaders” to have our backs. the same “leaders” who should be educating the crew force as to what to expect should negotiations fail. these flight-pay-loss commandos who are at home right now with their families, NC included! while us schmucks are spending xmas eve at the Holiday Inn. there ain’t no chimney at the Holiday Inn. how is Santa supposed to bring me all the $hit that I asked for when I sat on his lap at the mall? I digress, our “leaders “ are, and always have been, reactionary: do what the company tells you to do, and if you think it’s wrong, grieve it later, we may or may not help you with the process.
this is the best we got among 5500 of us? but then again, biden is our prez.
no concessions. our leaders don’t like it, fire them all. get the harda$$’$ in like Tony and Brian and yes, Shaman, whoever the h3ll Shaman is.
merry xmas, ya filthy animals!
