Oh, totally. I get it. I'm kinda ****ed at myself for attempting to pick it up at literally 12:01pm. If I'd spent 2 minutes less with the internal "Do I really want to work on my days off" struggle, it would have been a non issue.

We can thank a certain Kiwi for the 2 day rule being reinforced about 6 years ago, as I’m sure you know

Where is that spelled out? The MOU specifically states 200% of their regular hourly rate. It doesn’t say, where I can see, that reserves get credit stacked on their guarantee.

I know a FAQ is forthcoming. Hopefully addresses these questions

If you sent one and that’s they they said, then there’s the answer. The MOU was vague, to say the least, when it came to reserves.

But the amount of 200% trips going out has been almost unprecedented anayway.. just carpet bomb all work groups with extra pay.. and survive the week the best they can. January and February are notoriously slower month so I don’t see this as being systemic .
more of a Covid/holiday crush. Things will return to normal in January.. but this upcoming summer .. it’s Gonna very interesting.

Try $40. Seriously. Im not joking. Unless it’s a
fairly senior FA your literally talking $40-50 when you offer 200%.

I have no idea how we have FAs work for this $hit and how we even have an airline with 160+ aircraft and 600-700+ departures a day. At the end of the day this business does NOT happen without those in back. Truly amazing to me.

Okay here’s a question. The email says all flights flown. What about DH’s?

Wondered that too at first, but the mou specifies all pairings flown so they should qualify.

Weak comeback.

I personally like when they follow the contract.

For Envoy to fly? With what pilots?
