It's time
RPA has shown over and over and over that the only metric they truly care about is cost savings. Nothing else. Not quality of life, not fatigue risk management, not scheduling efficiency (in the eyes of crew members), etc. This latest blast email by the union only furthers that sentiment.
It's time to start dropping the brake late if we actually want a change; because per the union email: "unfortunately, the company has the final say."

I would be careful about advocating a “work action” though, because this is a very open forum.

Unfortunately our current CBA doesn’t prevent what they’re doing. Yes they care about the cost above all else, and have from the very beginning. Also YX has never been commuter friendly.

“In order to utilize more crew members...”
That, to me, sounds like they went a little overboard on the hiring and now they’re tired of paying guys to do nothing. The target line average is also low for next month.

I think we will win this eventually, because they can’t afford to have a bunch of angry employees. This really screws the FAs though, because they have no rigs.

I agree. This is likely to be a record low month for me as far as flight time and used reserve days. They don’t like how we’re getting paid 75 hours to block 20 hours or less.

The pilot info page on flica has the target line value. Basically it’s set for pilots to DEC/JAN values. It could be good if your close to holding a line, because maybe you get a low time line. Be sure and tatie advantage of your company rental car. Unlimited miles and gas is nice. Maybe go to the beach during your 32 hour GSP overnight.

Oh I agree totally. I’m sure they didn’t figure in the cost of rental cars and trip rigs for these long overnights. It will cost a bunch of $$$! I would be very surprised if in April we see the same stubbornness from the company about pairing construction.
