If that’s considered a “Win” for UAL ALPA it’s the most pathetic W in the history of airline bargaining. They shouldn’t have wasted a dime of barging on FSB.
You're slow on the uptake aren't ya? It is just one of many significant QOL gains they made on their contract. It is proof that if a Union is strong enough and doesn't run at the first "we asked and they said no" then a major change could have been made. For AA that could have been improved sick accrual (UA got that too), more days off for reserve (UA got that too), improved trip trading and restrictions on company lock-downs (I would of equated this major gain to UA's FSB removal) .
Again, for you slow people in the back.
