The truth is the company will operate the airline as they see fit and conditions are changing. AR is not going to waste union time and money going down some rabbit hole that is pure foolishness anyway.
We proposed a min % of trips must be day trips, management rejected it and sources say it hasn't been brought up since. If there is min% of trips must be day trips then that is a difficult thing to "ignore" when its a number that can easily be quantified. Similar to min # of days in a month, etc.
Y'all can poo poo my biggest asks, and my "sample size" but none of you have mentioned any other reason for being here. Margi, tom, tailend, etc. why are you all here if not for the day trips? please give me one reason you are still here? if you don't have other options, i get it. But anybody with options would be crazy to stay here unless they valued the day trips. there is nothing that this place offers to keep somebody here...
Still waiting to hear of any reason why someone would stay here if not for the day trips...
