Focusing on the penalty is acknowledging and normalizing the presently broken trip coverage process. This is what ALPA needs to figure out with the company.
I'm all ears if you can find a solution but this is brought on by choices the company is making like batch sizes, how/when to run coverage, and skipping steps. That is NOT our problem to fix. IMHO And even if we do agree to a fix we are setting a precedent of accommodation. That surely won't back fire when we are presented with the next "problem." They need to own the consequences of their decisions.
