Don't know yet. Haven't seen the package. But it reduces flying at DCI for starters, so that is a good thing as far as I can tell at this point.

OK Honesty Check, it was communicated just peachy keen. Perhaps you just didn't want to read it. With the Japanese government pushing Intl flying to Haneda: what use was it to protect Narita flying? Improving the overall protections made more sense period. BTW every other "poster" here knows some one or claims to. I know a few people myself. The reports I hear of reps supporting things and then claiming they didn't when they get blow back are pretty rampant. That isn't leadership. That's CS. JMO, OFG

LOL how is it a miracle? Marketing runs the airline with panicked decisions chasing pennies that trashes our trips and productivity then wants us to help out with more relief because they aren't as productive anymore. They can get every plane known to man and base every single one in every city we fly to if they want. Its not our problem to bail them out of the massive lack of productivity that results in. In fact, it shouldn't even be considered in the analysis.

How much of that "protected" flying are we doing now versus then? The pacific pull down will never recover even if we get Haneda slots. The reduction is permanent. Our partners will fill in if/when the yen and travel turn around.

Unfortunately, I don't think this will result in a net increase in MSP pilot positions. According to a FB post, Delta won't increase MSP pilot base until the Minnesota Family Leave Act and sick policy is changed.

Then let's get a me too clause. Its ridiculous that one or two bases get dramatically superior benefits from the same PWA sections anyway. So me too it, and then they will be financially free to grow the base as much as they want. Win win.

Well, assuming they can afford to peel a few million from the billions they're lighting on fire.
