The whole breakdown in the process is a problem yet to be addressed. We have huge categories now like the 7ER and 320 fleets with 600 pilots or so. There's no way to get through the list with a batch size of 1 or even 5.
Not our problem to solve. It is he company’s. They are the ones violating the contract not ALPA. ALPA could (and maybe should) go to the Company with a larger batch size offer in trade for something really good like positive space. But it would be better for the Company to come to ALPA with the larger batch size ask and then ALPA can better negotiate terms as the one being asked for the favor.
