I don’t think that’s a show stopper on the student lines. Your computations def support your argument but I don’t think it effects enough of the pilot group to push the needle.

The bigger issue is the compilation of lies from the company, and an even larger problem is our union refusing to acknowledge them. PD in his “leaked” audio said student lines aren’t a big deal and they’d be “lucky” to utilize one or two a month. Clearly, that’s a lie since it’s a sticking point. The same schedulers assigning R24 outside CBA provisions won’t be efficient to maximize student lines? BS
Two years in a row the wet least payment has been screwed up by the company - that’s dishonesty.
They lied when they said (pre-vote) the CGN lines would end up in the MEM57 Bidpack. They’re outsourcing everything to ASL.
they tried to cut our deviation banks in half a month early. Mistake? BS
They lied about wanting to “simplify” wet lease payments - online posters have shown TA1 would have reduced the payments by upwards of 90%.
Clearly we are in a situation where FS will no longer take care of his pilots because of his excessive pride in the airline he built. Now the bean counters are in charge and the relationship has turned adversarial. The SM types need to get their heads out of their asses and acknowledge our new reality.
The absolute best thing for us would be for UPS to get a deal first - they don’t have a union as deeply divided as ours. Sad to say, our union just doesn’t have the fight.
