We aren’t in section 6 we are IBB. If the union was so gung-ho in changing the entire contract they shouldn’t have sold the pilot group the IBB scheme.
Extended days make up a very few percentage of pilots, and of those maybe one or two a year. It’s not going to have the huge effect you think it will have. I just put in for some and they didn’t get picked up in a very busy fleet and during the busy summer season. What does that tell you?
What does it tell me? It tells me something about you that I can’t express on a public forum.
I stand by the fact that we have tremendous leverage. Some like you will chip away at it, but thankfully we have stronger members that will continue to persevere.
