Just be cognizant of the fact that a labor dispute is looming, likely to occur in the very short term. Legal disclaimer: I’m not advocating one way or another about picking up VDAs during a labor dispute, just wanted to make sure you were aware that it’s likely coming, and soon.

Gosh, if only there were a way to motivate crews to save every penny of fuel (or other costs) that hey could. Some kind of program where any extra dollar of profit generated by the crew going above and beyond was shared with them. It would hqve to be a meaningful amount though.
Hmm. Maybe they should set up a task force to look at it.

You want the commuters to give up their only (generally) lever to add pay, so that you locals can jack your own checks to the moon. Under the current system, there is no way for both groups to win.

You have this opinion because you are a local. Half the airline is commuters. Commuters don't have access to VDA/RSA like you locals, generally, so the only way they can add pay is to pick up straight open time. Of course you guys don't like that because if the open time gets picked up, they won't have to pay premium at the last minute to the locals.
