Best news I’ve seen all year. I really gotta hand it to the Union. Good job you all.

So happy we’re joining the list of airlines that aren’t furloughing. Hope more airlines can add themselves to the list

Good job guys, hope my shop can at last minimize the damage.

Now hopefully the rest of the airlines follow suit and we see no furloughs! And as Chimpy said, Reserve Drops!

HUGE gain that we had in C2010!

In today’s environment I feel like it was a win for us and them. They save when people drop rsv days now. In the past it cost them because it created short staffing and x/y events so they didn’t want it.

The bidding timeline was worth $1.3 million a month. $1200/mo per pilot.

Happy with the results.

How does the company monetize the change in the bidding timeline by $1200/mo per pilot? Help me understand please.

Just guessing here but a later bid window allows the company to cancel flights at a later date without having pay protected pilots on them. Last minute scheduling to meet demand.

Never mind. I figured it out. That’s what we got per pilot as compensation when the company delayed the bidding.
