I flew for an airline that had virtual bases. I have first hand experience.
Bad faith huh? Talk to me about our 25+ scope violations and then when you can justify that come talk to me about bad faith.

The union let the VB provision stand well past the trial period in the contract, during which period the company did nothing to implement it.
Then, when they did, they did so with ZERO communication with the union. The VB provision implementation was supposed to involve both parties.
And, the contract said that either side could simply pull it down if it wasn’t working well. Given the fact that it wasn’t utilized within the original test period, and when it finally was, it was done so without the requisite communication, it clearly wasn’t working out well.
So, IAW the contract, the union terminated it. There was no bad faith there at all.
