Not strange at all......lets not forget that this was after private mediation was a disaster. This was the companies "olive branch" to extend to the pilot group in an attempt to gain trust. "see? we WANT to work with ALPA to get you guys the best contract (that aligns with our own values) you deserve....thats why we filed for mediation....."
Its all optics......I hope they finally start to realize that the phrase "My MEC Speaks For Me" isn't a computerized automatic reply.

I see. A divide and conquer strategy. Going for the smallest increase possible as opposed to delay as long as possible. Do you have a large % of pilots that are not on board with your mec’s ask/strategy? Doesn’t seem like it like looking from the outside so that would be a failed strategy on managements part imo.

But yes, divide and conquer has been their objective from the beginning of negotiations, and its not working one bit

Question about the position bid. Why would someone junior to you keep their base that you wanted even though you bid for their base and are senior? I'm not saying I would have even gotten the spot but it is a pretty weird system.

Look all, It is not our decisions where and when to fly. I want to grow and gain more seniority, upgrade, and reap the benefits for a growing company but that is not going to happen right now.
However, as they do reduce our flying (which pilots can't control) and they hopefully do have reserves (which I assume they will as they continue to reduce our flying do to ensure reserves), I am going to enjoy my summer. Even if there are no reserves, I'm not going to fly 87 like most of the lines in SEA. Personally, I will enjoy family and friends, support our Union and enjoy the summer King fishing and fly around 50ish per month. Make this place work for you. That's the only way to be happy here.

All additions are processed first. Then if there are reductions those get processed. Then pilots being reduced have bumping rights and then pilots being bumped have bumping rights all the way to the bottom of the seniority list…Bidding for a base or a position does not come with bumping rights

Until the airbuses are gone everyone near the bottom of the list for that seat is vulnerable to getting displaced by someone senior coming off the bus, or someone displaced by someone coming off the bus, or someone displaced by that person, etc, until they reach your seniority level

Next, reductions are processed. These are people who are getting forced out of their base/seat. In this example, you're most likely talking about a junior LAX Airbus Capt. If he's getting displaced, he can bid into ANY position at ANY base at this company, so as long as his seniority can hold it (regardless of a spot open or not). Say he bids ANC CA. It would then force the bottom ANC CA guy out and this bottom ANC CA then gets to exercise his displacement rights. Rinse/repeat.
