The net cost of this to the company is far greater than the net cost to the pilot group as a whole. Currently the company is paying 300% of the value of a trip to cover it under 23M7. If batch sizes are adjusted to the extent that they can avoid 23M7, they’ll only be paying 200%.
We have far greater leverage here than many realize. I’m firmly against any changes to the batch sizes unless we receive something substantial in return.
