I got the relief line from redeye h*ll after OE and was able to drop/swap into a completely new schedule. This is amazing given I was the most junior guy in the company. I'm a little worried the MEC is undervaluing those rules, and the JetBlue guys don't understand it and the implications from both an earnings potential and QOL perspective.
Our MEC does not undervalue those provisions. Those provisions were fought and won for, in binding arbitration. They actually value those provisions highly, unlike some pilots who always ask “so what’s so good about the work rules, I don’t get it”
