I don't know if it's worthy of a grievance. If it's in violation of the contract, then you will be paid, whether it's through discussions between ALPA and management or the grievance process. I will support you in the restoration of your contractual rights.

If it's not required by the contract, then it's a money grab. I'll wait to see what the negotiators/CA say before rendering judgement.

Win that said I will answer the last part of your post, expect no I'll will by the Nwa line pilots. I assure you the majority of the Nwa pilot group is made up of good dudes and dudettes

Take care
That has been my experience as well, just as the VAST majority here are great dudes....looking forward to combining the silent, sane, good-dude, bro majority.
Cheers.

Super,

Reread my post. I did NOT accuse your entire pilot group of lacking integrity. I have no doubt that 99% of the former NWA pilots have very high integrity, and I'll be proud to fly with any of them. But I will question that of some of those currently making waves.....

Post bankruptcy and pre merge, our contracts were very close cost wise. We had lower pay rates but kept our pensions in tact. You had some work rules that were better than ours, we had some work rules that were better than yours.

The two contracts were a wash with regard to cost.

When I think of correspondence I like to receive from the people I've chosen to represent me I prefer truthful, well though out, logical communications that sound like they were written by an adult not a petulant teenager.

What's sad is there may be some legitimate issues buried in that diatribe but it will be written off as a divisive drivel. Perhaps rightfully so.

Is this guy running for something? This seems like a cheap political attack add filled with half-truths, innuendo and yes hyperbole.
When it comes to hyperbole, nobody beats you dude.
