I believe they are so far removed from the mindset of working together and treating employees like humans that it didn’t even register as an option.

I get what you’re saying but the contract is the contract and they can enforce it. There’s no leverage in saying “we had more days off when we we’re operating 10% of our flights, now that we’re operating at 100% we need those same amount of days off”, that makes no sense. I guess that’s where I thought you were giving them a pass, because it just doesn’t jive. If anything, giving the employees the “gift” of treating them with humanity would give them brownie points and would benefit them in good faith negotiations.

Thats the funny part. The way things are looking if the airline is even still around at that point most of us will still be here in 2023 or whenever the real talks start.

Looks like the company is trying to feed us more scraps per that last email.

I figured giving 11 day off reserve lines was an effort to force more guys into taking that 20 hour junk.

Reserve lines are up to 12 days off now.

looks like they didn’t meet their quota for people taking the SRL. Hmm maybe if they offered more than 20 hours.

Exactly, they were banking on a lot more people taking it. But let's be real, 20 hours is a slap in the face when other regionals are offering 50 hours of credit to their pilots while on full leave for the month. Yes, I get that they are trying to save money, but at the same time, the pilot group is trying to not take a drastic pay reduction. So 75 hours for a RSV line makes more financial sense for most people. If they had offered 50 hours of credit for an SRL or full leave most people would have jumped on that in a heart beat.
