This is a once in a hundred years event, hardly an “every month” type of MOU.

Ok, well correct me if I'm wrong because I honestly do not know, but if we go to the company with an ask then they will want something in return. Does that sound about right or am I way off?

I do believe we’re still owed a quid...

Reserves will indeed get some of the flying. And since they’ll get nowhere even close to breaking 72 they might as well be getting zero. Same result either way.

Meanwhile, the dozen or so lineholders in each base get to clean up house. Again.

This could have been handled better.

We are DEFINITELY owed a ****ing quid!!!!!! Mother****ers ****ed us one way then another.......

Sorry, I got distracted. The rest is a wash till said quid is paid, then we’ll move on.

Senior line holders sell out reserve last contract.

Senior pilots now on reserve suddenly want the ability to drop reserve days and pick up overtime while flying 0 hours on reserve. Interesting....

I think it's pretty obvious they are going to use any open flying on reserves needing currency to the greatest extent possible. As simple as that. Reserves that get current sooner than later are more likely to do nothing afterwards. With ticket sales appearing to accelerate, everyone on reserve for June should plan on reporting at least a few days. That's not a bad thing.

Yep. Karma for those that can’t read and never thought they would be back on reserve.

Voting to get rid of reserve drops was terrible, but saying reserves should be able to pick up from DOT is ridiculous.

Not when there are only 3 line holders in each seat

It’s pretty interesting that everyone is getting full pay to do nothing at all for months and still feel like their being cheated. Are the top few in each base getting a better deal? Yes.... it’s called seniority. Some of you are just disgracefully selfish. Enjoy the rare opportunity you have to spend so much time at home and appreciate the fact you still have your full pay and benefits.
