I really hope this Sprit group brings a whole new mentality to negotiations. We have the most convoluted, insanely stupid reserve system i could imagine. The ability to swap or drop anything is virtually non existent. And this is when things have been smooth and fairly well staffed. I hope we get a fresh new perspective in some of these areas.
LCR is a great thing, but in order to move days or do anything is next to impossible. As a Lineholder you are almost completely bound to your schedule if you have 4 and 5 day trips. Just another way CK and crew are hard at work for us.

yes, same here. remember the roadshows before ratification? i brought up all kinds of scenarios about reserve to the people who are now going to be in charge of negotiating the whole contract for us, and they told me that basically the company would not exploit loopholes or find other ways to screw us that weren't in the contract language, etc. every single objection i had, where i could foresee how the company would use it against us and not do what alpa was saying they would do, was shot down in this manner. they basically didn't even care about my concerns. and of course every single one of those concerns came true (plus more!).

So I had a great deal of faith that RV would remember his scars and he would not give JetBlue any slack when he worked out Contract 2018 and LOA 17. Key word… HAD.
