Mark my words.....this will bite CS HARD in any type of > day IROP or other System disruption......

Or we can go back to pilots stepping all over each other last min in opentime to pickup with zero incentive (LOA 65). The only downside I see it to those willing to do last min flying for no premium.

Completely bypassing the vja ja process. Basically taking away leverage at the negotiating table.

Think tradeboard and make other res friends in same seat and domicile. Takes the grid out of the equation. Also keep in mind there’s still negotiating left to accomplish (pbs). We Really don’t want to just show management the issues they have. It’s clear they read this.
