Get rid of PB days and GS would drop off significantly, so I don't think there would be "more GS for us."

This is not a popular opinion on this board, however.

(To be fair, if I had a de facto monopoly on GS and extra days off, I wouldn't want that contract sniping loop to disappear either. )
What does that mean?
PB days are a loophole?
A monopoly?
You do realize this is due to staffing and GSs are by seniority order, right?

I guess FO trip buys are a loophole or international FC DHs too because they only apply to a minority.

Not at all, that's $400M per year, well under even sailings annual guestimate on PWA costs.
PWA costs are easily available if you look.

Seniority order with a very heavy balancing mechanism. PB days are not a loophole.

That’s what social media says. However, here’s the truth:

Darren advocated against TA1. Yes, he was asked to and agreed to be a P2P volunteer. They were the “black shirts” that help spread the word about TA1 in the lounges. When he read the TA and realized it was bad, he actually advocated against it when in the lounges.

He was calledl up and asked WTF. He was of course not allowed to be a P2P volunteer after that.

What about the RUMINT that he was against the recent strike vote?

Idk if this is the reason, but the NYC CA rep voted against 20-04, something that helped a lot of NYC FOs specifically and pretty popular with the pilot group in general.

but that is definitely an interesting dynamic especially considering that was the tie-breaking vote

I am legitimately interested in finding this information. Please indulge me and tell me where to find this easy to locate information.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until something solid is put forth. The MEC that jyst voted for him is the same MEC that asked us to vote on strike authorization. Does it makes sense they would want someone to represent them that is in the 1% opposing what they were trying to do?

Does anyone have the MEC vote count for strike authorization? If he voted not to send it to the group, it would be there.
