No More First
 

Just announced, no more upgrades to first class on narrowbody and regional flights for business travel or non-revenue travel for employees.

Eh, minor deal really as they are not doing any service anymore. Personally would rather get an entire row to myself in coach.

I tend to agree. Last commute I asked to sit in main when I was offered the upgrade.

Minor deal for now. Hope they go back to it though. It is kind of a bad look with 3 revenue passengers in coach and only crew members in First.

Not the last blow that will happen in the coming days.

ouch doesn’t sound good.

There it goes... QuickTrade is hobbled.

What's next?! Anyone want to guess?

Don’t give them any ideas or satisfaction.

More to come.

Probably doing whatever they can to make commuting (reserve in particular) as miserable as they can, so people have to accept the “generous” 19h offer.

I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised that airlines have not pushed too hard on the scope front yet. I expected them to try to get scope relief as soon as the first virus headline showed up in the news, as they never seem to miss that opportunity in any crisis.

Wrong.
The 19 hour "deal" is a stop gap for now. A good chunk of pilots wanted it. No-one is forced to take it. Forcing people to take it is not their game plan.

Well, if you are unable to make your commute or you are in a high risk group, that is when you start “wanting” your 19h. There would have to be a pretty good reason for it, otherwise if you have any seniority on reserve, you can essentially be on a 75h leave instead of 19h.

This 25% of pay deal has been offered pretty much to all employees, probably just to bridge the gap till Oct 1 when they can start furloughing.

I doubt a good chunk of pilots wanted a 75% paycut. Especially since our pay is 100% guaranteed until the end of September, possibly even longer.

perhaps alpa should give the pilot group a heads up

They can’t. “The union needs to protect its relationship with managment”. Their words not mine.

Management is a bunch of f* *******s.

Management cant even protect the relationship with their own pilots. love it

I agree, but that is exactly what Tom said on the call the other day. I swear people get elected into these positions and suddenly forget the last 15 years.
