I've already seen them try to negotiate a side deal with an FO which closely mirrors a post above, so we clearly can't trust them to do the right thing.
We got something…it’s just not something that was important to everyone. Plenty of commuters were rightfully ticked off that GS coverage moved so slowly and then transitioned into IAs that they couldn’t get the premium flying they were due nor track if the right person (or anyone) was paid appropriately. Even if you don’t commute, more foresight on green slip assignments can now make some rotations flyable that previously were not. That is what I see as the most valuable end state for the winners here (yes there are losers), with tracking and transparency being less meaningful. Those who previously scored IAs they never could have held as timely green slips, and local folks who weren’t as encumbered by delayed assignments as commuters were are probably the big losers out of the settlement.
