The plan has been to pull the remaining ERs off TATL, I think this just accelerated that move. The ERs can now pick up domestic flying which will certainly provide some relief to the overheated system. Bid-wise, probably not as many backfills for ER copilots. And yeah, maybe some domestic flying for the big heavies too.

Seen this a lot in my time. (Conspiracy theory alert).

Methinks DALPA needs to drop their ridiculous opposition to the SkyHub. I find it to be a modestly useful source of low level info (Aerodocs pointers and the like), sprinkled with a dose of company propaganda. That's it. No conspiracy or darker agenda there. I can think for myself thank you.

That's supposed to happen over the next few years, I think this moves that forward, maybe temporarily, maybe longer.

The DALPA blast email detailing how pilots can call off China trips was telling.
If I read it right, drop with no pay for line holders, drop with no harm/no foul for reserve pilots. I wonder if staffing flights is becoming an issue?
Between this email, and the news story that American Airlines pilots are suing their own company to quit flying to China, I’m guessing that the public (and pilot/flight attendant) appetite for China flying is going to dry up for awhile.
