Almost nothing changed. The company still pays a penalty, as they do now. The only difference now is that it eliminates a free for all and senior pilots being skipped for trips they wanted to fly. No leverage was given away because 90% of the trips they were covering they were technically doing per the pwa.

I genuinely don't think you read the agreement and if you did, you don't understand it

If you want to fly premium, you’ll have to be inconvenienced by spam calls 20x before you get a trip.

Sure they pay triple for that. But they’ve already demonstrated they don’t mind doing that.

This only fixes the problem of free for all IAs ignoring seniority. It doesn’t fix trip coverage.
^^^^^^^ somebody gets it.

you can still use gs auto accept as you did before. this just fixes what happens when they skipped that step.

they were already skipping it, so the “they just won’t run green slips” argument falls pretty flat

We have just replaced it with something more palatable to most of the pilot group. We still have a bunch of leverage because the company is having to pay 3x to cover trips in many cases.
QS doesn't allow auto accept.... it was given up. 3X is exactly the same thing as the IA situation nothing lost but nothing gained for the shiny new easy button we just gave scheduling.

I don't have an answer but 23m7 is likely costing the company millions a month in unnecessary pilot pay. The only reason they want to pay it now is because not covering the flight is way more expensive. You know how I know they'd rather run GS? Even with A going out today, there are still some GS awards. This doesn't change anything.

we basically made an ia step that will follow seniority order and be traceable instead of a free-for-all. that’s a good change

Hope - want something to happen or be the case, ie cautiously optimistic

3x hasn't been a deterrent yet, but we can hope.

Nothing got easier for them. They were already skipping to IA whenever they felt the urge, now it will just be a QS instead, with the same cost to them. There's no incentive for them to use it any more often than they already are using IAs. This isn't going to change auto accept, and their costs aren't going to go down.

so if it costs the same but is actually an auditable, orderly process that respects seniority, it’s a win.

Put yourself in the schedulers shoes. They can't do their job now and we just gave them an easy button. GS = dodo bird.
