You could always read the ALPA email like all pilots should do. For instance the one that was sent out on Friday night. I think you will find out that they talked about this.
Every pilot should read all they can about ALV's and TLV's. It is one of the best things we have in our contract. Period. Most pilots think that it is another kind of flux capacitor. These two terms are foundational. IMHO.

I agree with others, this may be their contract non-compliant way of not having to pay protect FOs for more April reductions. This should be a massive grievance for all FOs if that's what they do.
They've spent HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollar on stock buybacks the last few years. They've spent MILLIONS on executive bonuses, all while paying 0.0-0.2% to front line employees.
That money could have and should have been invested INTO the company or saved for a rainy day.
It's raining... And the employees shouldn't take the brunt of their bad planning.

The company’s lack of communication is standard.
The MEC’s lack of communication is a complete failure. What is in the table right now? What has the company approached them with? Has the company approached them with nothing? Anything?
