You need to add a lot more detail to this post. There are tons of "121 ops" where PIC has no operational control.

subpart G air carriers and operators for compensation or hire
§ 121.533 Responsibility for operational control: Domestic operations.(a) Each certificate holder conducting domestic operations is responsible for operational control.

(b) The pilot in command and the aircraft dispatcher are jointly responsible for the preflight planning, delay, and dispatch release of a flight in compliance with this chapter and operations specifications.

The PIC and DO share the responsibility in supplemental ops.
Flight followers have none.

Your quoting of 121.533 is not appropriate. You need to read 121.537, which applies to Supplemental operations. When you read .537 you’ll realize that the references to “Dispatchers” generally change to “Director of operations”, with the caveat that the DO may delegate the functions of operational control to flight followers, but not the responsibility.

You made a minor mistake. It’s ok, we’ve all done it, but please stop doubling down on your use of the incorrect rule.

Why is this even a discussion? If you worked here you would know the answer is in GOM chapter 5. It’s also on the very first page of the OKE question bank.

Please don’t make the sim instructors ask stupid command and control questions at recurrent because you want to quote random FARs.

Default How many were dismissed yesterday

How many employees and pilots got their pink slips? Kind of crazy when a successful company shoots themselves in the foot at the beginning of CNet.

Will those employees who are unionized have any chance of job and seniority recovery now that the mandate was suspended?

I know you know PS. This isn't surprising at all. PS would never give an inch to a pilot. It's too bad we didn't make that more clear with the TA vote a year ago.

It’s too bad someone didn’t try to warn everyone last year… oh wait. I did.

Now, Sun Country has 737 rates that beat our 767 rates and their 767 rates beat everything else, plus 15% DC. Everyone was so proud of this contract, a lot changes in a few months. I kept telling you guys to slow down and wait.

And the second thing I predicted, is in a year, you can’t find anyone who voted “yes”.

Just one outside opinion looking in, but amendable dates don't mean a thing when market conditions are shifting this fast and pilot supply is what it is. I can see the logic in both arguments, either voting something down and letting the company come up with another offer, or setting a floor for your next bargaining position while pattern bargaining does its thing.

All that said, no union should be letting their companies contribute a single dime to compensation of any form outside what's in a CBA, because the moment things go sideways is the moment all that goes away. We learned that the hard here at my shop. They want to pay extra, let them come and negotiate and put it in writing.
