That travel MOU benefits the company way more than the pilots right now. They’ll keep that going as long as we let them.

The current domestic catering is a lot like going to my in-laws at the holidays.

a gift I dont really want but still have to act enthusiastic about because they’re trying.

If the MEC wants to show some resolve, the should give the 7 day notice for the MOU.

They need it more than we do.

Interesting. Y’all are expected to bring your own chow for long haul flights? .

No, anything over 5:30 hours of duty has a “snack”. Anything over 7:30 of duty has a “meal”. Under 5:30 gets a mini-snack.

Due to Covid, they have been catering all flights with a “meal” regardless of duty time.


Long haul gets multiple meals.

How? Without the agreement all those trips departing to or from countries who had no DHD options, or overly restrictive quarantine requirements, would be removed from the bid pack. This would substantially reduce the amount of lines and turn many more into reserves. This is what they did in HKG the month prior to this agreement. We are also getting 100% of deviation bank which is a huge step forward. The rental car use is also a huge advancement and I have used it numerous times.

You may want to read the business necessity JS language.

"In individual cases of business necessity......"

While there are some great benefits of the MOU, it obviously benefits the company way more than it benefits the pilots. You have 777/MD pilots that have $100,000 + in their deadhead banks that they're never going to use along with the fact that this gives the company way too much discretion and flexibility. Think of how much money the company is saving right now with these unused deadhead banks. We'll probably get a contract with pay raises that the company is paying for with our own unused deadhead money.

Haha- not the cat food. Got me there. I’ll argue the meals have enough carbs (sugar) for several days of human consumption. Take breakfast- cereal, milk, yogurt, fruit, sugar bar, bread. At least the snack boxes have less quantity- sometimes you’d get healthier options like veggie packs, rx bars, hummus, etc. They weren’t all winners, but I’d argue healthier than the meals we get.
