Why does our MEC think this is a good thing?

Well reread that little e-mail you were just sent. They stated that the "Company" wanted to sunset the flows, and given the "Exceptions" that they describe and define in that letter, the companies desire and our PWA language equates to some leverage.

I am impressed that they were this forthright with the companies position.

Flows are an interesting animal. The benefit to a mainline pilot is flow down protection.

Whether you like em or not, it is part of your contract. If you like direct your reps to sunset them and get nothing in return for them. ( I say this TIC. In reality you need to talk to you reps)
