I have been told ALPA is negotiating concessions to try and fix the IA problem. Complete elimination of batch size is what I am hearing out of seniority opportunism will cost our pilot group.
Zero. I clear my schedule every month using a variety of techniques that are shown in the Optimize your Schedule document from the Union.
OOBWS does not break ARCOS. It's simply the coverage step prior to in base GS. Also to address the OOBWS angst, it shouldn't be much of an issue to a strategic Greenslipper. Majority of OOBWS folks snap up silly easy broken up trips that most pilots WS, saving GS for longer, higher paying 3 and 4 day trips.
