Unless there's something in the works that the company isn't telling us, or they're doing some creative re-interpretation of the contract to suit their needs.

In some cities we'll stay in exceedingly nice hotels whereas some layovers are in motels that barely qualify as a a Super 8. Yes we stay at Super 8 motels in some places. The new contract calls for a " Hotel Quality Handbook" to be implemented as a guide for hotel selection, but unfortunately it's one of those things that HQ will be "working on" indefinitely and will never be actually implemented.

The main thing to remember about working here. A CBA is not a legally binding document here. It is merely a book of suggestions and guidelines that can and will be reinterpreted at the company's sole discretion. They're more or less playing nice now. But since the staffing issue has been solved by the parking of so many airplanes and the increae in hiring, the gloves will be coming off again soon enough. A leopard doesn't change its spots.

Or had a line with a CDO built up next to a 3 or 4 day sequence at envoy. It's easy to fantasize about the "other guy's girl" when you forget that she to gets moody, wakes up with bad breath, complains about his friends, and can sometimes be a real b***h.
