It's an archaic mentality that really isn't applicable to the way the airline does business. Furthermore, sending them to ARCOS further separates the entire premise of a IA making it a full proffer. They aren't designed to benefit a junior pilot over a senior pilot. If you are going to make IA a no auto accept, no batch ARCOS call, it needs to be seniority order.



And I want to be clear that I'm not interested in just bending over. We need to continue to enforce the contract and extra 300% pay out of the company. BUT, they will want relief and I fully support us negotiating meaningful and measurable contractual gains, especially outside of section 6. You want to be able to just pay premium and not 300%? Okay, here's how it'll work and we want x in return. That's how you use leverage.
