Look at the wide reports and you will see that folks have ALPA prebuilt into their lines. Coded ALPP I believe. Doesn’t count as rest or duty.
We’re working on a new contract 2 years out of 5. There’s a lot of dropped trips for ALPA part timers that’s not prebid. Last contract negotiations we had big MEC meetings just about once a month. Think of all the strike prep and picketing. All the black swan and Covid events. It’s a lot more prevalent than you’re letting on to.
