Rather have guys ready to bow up than roll over. In this case, however, the passover and non counter lateral moves seem to make it a deal worth taking....Going cheap on initial housing cost them a lot of passover bucks. Going after some pilots has made the domicile hard to fill ever since, and poisoned the well with a host of pilots. So--your pragmatism is certainly not unwarranted. I am here, I like it, but I still shake my head and see "what it could have been" or "what it can be" and realize this base will probably always have a black cloud.

Of course I could be wrong. Someone correct me if I am. But I think we are playing with fire if they can arbitrarily set those numbers.

The min and max staffing levels have Always been arbitrarily set st FedEx, only difference is we have a bit more visibility.
It’s my opinion, that the contractual staffing levels (and the odd max BLGs) at other airlines are not something the majority of the crew force desires. There are pluses and minuses to both.

I just liked the 6-8 MD each class, I don't really want to be the last MD FO on reserve, but whatever, it's better then at a regional.

It is in the agreement letter that was signed by the negotiating committe, first paragraph on second page.
