You can bet whatever you want, but I can pretty much assure you that a lot of pilots here are willing to die on the DTZ hill (insert small sampling size comment here). True for every pilot? Idk. Is it DTZ popular among our pilot group? Yes. So expect a fight on this provision.
Idk why you think JB pilots have all the say in this. You need our vote to get a JCBA done. So instead of being dramatic about reserve rules, how about you think of a creative way for all us to win and then email your rep with that idea.
DTZ and reserve rules are NOT the same provision of the contract, nor are they directly related. You, as a lineholder, benefit from the bad reserve rules, but that doesn't make them connected from the standpoint of the contract. You can die on the DTZ hill, I don't care where you die. And the point is, maybe we all decide to keep DTZ, not my fight, but perfectly fine with that outcome. But, what you don't understand is, we will be keeping the ability for reserves to drop and swap days. That's not going away. What happened to keeping the best from both contracts??? It is entirely possible to keep DTZ and RSV schedule flexibility. You just don't want to, because you want your QOL/money at the expense of others. Classic pilot pulling up the ladder behind them.
Either way, die wherever you want. RSVs will be keeping their ability to drop and swap.
