Whether that sticks around with a new joint contract is a mystery.
There are a few of us at AS hoping it sticks around. Under the AS contract trying to visit family in East Asia as a junior FO would only be possible once a year on vacation. I’ve been actively asking reps about keeping the HAL reserve option of one big block of reserve.
