The fact that the latest NC update still mentions the G-line and HDO "flexibility" tells me our PBS isn't going anywhere anytime soon, global reserve is still alive, and obligations to the company on your days off are still a thing. Not a single mention of short call or FSB as well. I fear we'll get an agreement with the smallest QOL changes, but once the masses see the $480 pay rates we'll be stuck with these work rules for another decade.
It is not time for mediation. The years spent getting to this point is irrelevant. We have started over with a new MEC and a new list of demands. The company is meeting with the negotiating committee on a regular basis and our union says that while differences remain, progress is being made. It sounds like we now have a MEC that actually represents the line pilots. Starting over is a big task and we’re going to have to allow them time.
