Overall this is a step in the right direction. Two things are missing, either due to omission by ALPA or because the company refused to come to an agreement on these issues. First this MOU is missing is a tighter restriction on the use of QS/M7. 8 hours is way too far in advance to be skipping coverage. 2-4 hours Is much more reasonable. But that stems from the second miss - putting firm timelines in place for when trip coverage has to start once a rotation hits OT that reports within the second day manual coverage window. Yes the IA free-for-all, deal making, etc is put to bed with QS. But it still does nothing to hold scheduling accountable for sitting on trips for 12+ hours with no coverage stated before blasting it to IA (soon to be QS). If those two things were in the MOU it’d be an absolute slam dunk. Hopefully we can tweak those things in the upcoming section 6 negotiations.
