I agree that this is a huge issue.

We had a nice opportunity to lower the LCW during covid. Why was the union so against doing it when it was seemingly a perfect solution at many other shops? Hint: Starts with an I and ends with MAX.
I agree. Everything they do at this union is to protect the 3 to 5 % of pilots who attempt to imax. We all work more because of it. Many on the scheduling committee love imax, so they are giving input to the Negotiating Committee to protect a small % of pilots. Our scheduling committee thinks they are the smartest people in the world, yet we are the airline that now has the worst rig. We now get split duty trips, that’s our reward. Our scheduling committee has to be some of the dumbest people in our union. They want higher credit lines, less credit for vacation, and split duty trips. We somehow gained ACD 5 years ago, but are now going to allow a rig carve out to make it more efficient for the optimizer.
