Of course, I'm on furlough so I have no dog in the fight other than the fact I am now barely one step above a buddy pass, but I guess I should be thankful to have any benefits at all.
That's what I was told by the bureau when I almost got stuck in BKK because they switched our abilities on NWA without notice.
It's a two way street. We signed up thinking that we would have these benefits even if the company didn't need us at the time. We shouldn't be "thankful" in a "you're so merciful" way. (I am thankful that I have what I have and to all the crews that serve me) But I'm not going to get on my knees and pray towards ATL and thank them for my basically just extremely sr. buddy pass.
We earned what we should have had. Any thing taken away is changing our agreement.
