I never said I expected to keep all of my RS. Alpa policy is Alpa policy. Arguing for straight DOH or straight RS is pointless. We all knew the rules of the game or should have. A stand alone airline was never the end game. I knew it when spirit turned themselves into a ULCC and went public. JetBlue pilots knew it when they joined Alpa which is half the reason they joined after several attempts.
Each of our unions’ counsel will make our cases and the arbitrator decides. Complaining or arguing about it is senseless.
