My point was that sailing said it was nasty because a pilot left a crashpad and then couldn’t get back in. Could they get back in after 1 month or were they still stuck? My point was, it didn’t get pulled down in a bubble. Management was and continues to ignore and violate our contract whenever it suits them, the MEC gave them the middle finger, and no pilots lost anything that they already had. I’m sure it would have been nice for the handful of pilots who happened to be on the right equipment and live in the right place, but there were no guarantees of what and where and for how long anyways.
