Don't kid yourself. This company will always need VDAs.
RSA is a live in base kind of thing. Commuters aren't going to do them. 150% for premium open time. Otherwise, VDA at 200%. RSAs are the dumbest thing this pilot group can do--especially once the full contract is implemented.

For the record, NOTHING has changed, the responses elicit a temporary response and pilots never stop lapping up the muddied waters of RSA/VDA. Somethings will never change.
