True story.

This reasoning could be used to justify the company giving special treatment to any segment of our pilot group - Completely undermines our CBA.

Im happy sitting in my cave watching the craziness because i would of only made 3 to 6 more hrs but would like the piece of mind that my whole schedule is dropped. If the company canceled all flights then all reserve should of also. I guess its cheaper to give 35% of the pilots free money than working with union and pay the whole pilot group again. Im not going to be a opentime virus till June but the trips will be worked out by then and no extra time will be available.
In a lot of industries people are getting paid to do nothing or very little work thanks to the virus and government. My neighborhood and friends might be different than most tho. Saying we are lucky to get violated by our company is not smart

The only problem is, if you read the email from the mec that came to your personal email, it appears they did actually work in collaboration with the union to come up with this. Thats what I got from it anyways.

The company has 100% support from the union on this. Again, it’s complete bul!sh1t, and yet another example of reserves being treated as second class citizens.
