It’s a negotiating tactic. The company wants them and the union is refusing. Largely due to the negotiation pace. Email your reps. They’ll explain.

You know what says Unity, a pilot jumping on the pocket session yesterday telling management to please try again in asking the union for VILs. Smh. This is why we can't have nice things.

Yeah. It makes me wonder how many would cross the line if we were ever in a strike.

The same 20 people get the VILs every time they are offered and the rest of us have zero schedule flexibility even in the slow months.

No VILs!

Jr CAs were getting VILs when senior FOs weren’t.
(CAs with lessor seniority than the FOs!!!)

They should have upgraded then. VIL's were a staffing realignment band-aid. Do we need a 101 explanation on how seniority works in each status?

Giving an FO a VIL doesn't help cut costs when CA's are overstaffed.....
