So to be ****ed for not having recalls because of CHQ "picking up more flying" doesn't make sense. That being said, I could be proven wrong tomorrow - who knows...
The net effect on total block hours doesn't matter. Quoting our contract, the company is obligated to "aggressively seek flying opportunities... including but not limited to, bidding on opportunities to provide additional feed to American Airlines". This recent announcement represents the perfect opportunity for them to increase feed, and they're not even trying. ALPA should be all over this.
