What if it had worked well and they had opened VBs in DCA, AUS, DFW, MCO, FLL/MIA…That’s potentially a large group of pilots that would have benefited greatly. We’ll never know.
I think we can all agree that, for better or worse, VBs ala MOU 16-03 are dead and buried.

I wonder if we might be able to frame how VBs could be written into C26 (or a non-section-6 MOU like last time) (I know, long time from now) to prevent a repeat of history.

Do you think it is possible to have VBs that this pilot group would approve/desire? We, as a 2023 pilot group look very different than we did in 2016/17/18 when MOU 16-03, the extension and subsequent takedown occured.
