Because it didn’t do nearly enough to improve the system and ALPA quickly realized that the LOA wouldn’t pass.

For non-commuter I imagine reserve is cake. As for one not already living in base and not willing to relocate my life for a stepping stone job, I just need to know I can get to work well rested. Positive space travel to work (to home would be nice too) and somewhere to sleep, exercise, and shower each night.

It is only my opinion, but I don't think at this point there should be any trade-offs. Any contract change should be the company giving to us, for nothing in return. Everything should be a no vote unless it is given to us for free. This company has shown over and over again that they will not offer improvements unless they feel they need to. And if they need the improvements, then we don't have to pay for them. If they need the improvements to guarantee staffing, then let them give us the improvements for nothing in return.

Because the LOA was garbage and it became absolutely clear that the vast majority of our pilot group was against it.

PDT doesn't have enough pilots to have a reserve system. We don't want PDTs QOL. I have had a hard enough time advocating Envoy when we only had 13 day off averages. I can't imagine what it's like working at PDT. Working 11 days a month on trips is insane. I don't get how people actually go to PDT and have a life.
