I couldn't care less about what the FAs get or don't get* and I'm not taking them in account at all. I just don't particularly care about DHing around in FC unless it's across the ocean, despite what UA/AA has, and I don't want to waste negotiating capital fighting to get it especially when the company is going to get all bent out of shape about it and extract an unreasonable amount for it. I really don't care about the company's feelings and am willing to hold their feet to the fire, but let's be real, some battles are worth fighting and some aren't. Give us actual DH rules, give us C+ and no middle seat, even if it's last second, give us a pay penalty otherwise. They can keep FC. I don't need the extra orange juice on my DH for ATL to IND.

Again, as someone whose 6 of 13 legs this month were DHs.



*I care about the FAs, but when it comes to pilot negotiations, they're pilot negotiations.
