And under the same “fly as much as possible” assumption, negate any leverage the NC could have or need during future contract negotiations. Fly your line and that’s it? Not a chance with this group if you add the VBP to the mix.
Yet another way this will bite the union in the @$$.

Do our MEC officers get any incentive pay? At all? Ever, for this or anything else? That’s what I’m wondering. Do you know?
