Well, my captain rep is based in NYC and gave his proxy to a rep from NYC for the MEC meeting...so I'm wondering how he represents me now.

The "wedge" you mentioned earlier is theoretical at best. I'd rank it up there with hats, commuting, pay banding, and dozens of other issues that seem to provoke a vocal subset into indignation.

You'd rank the largest change to our working agreement in history to hats? Really?

Seriously, just open a Boston base. We have hundreds of 321 on order, this virtual basing does not make sense domestically.
They probably just don’t want to pay to displace people. We have to be careful, it may be a set up for the future

The current crew resources newsletter states a Boston A321 base would increase costs. I assume that is based on the current fleet. With future deliveries I assume that can and will change but for the moment I don’t think you will see a base.

This forum has an astounding level of VB expertise (as well as pantie wadding)

Especially since the Company has not even detailed precisely how any VB would even be mechanized.

How about we all take a breath, wait for details, THEN discuss.

The last crew resources news letter did have a good overview of the program and issues.
