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.

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.

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.

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

Weak comeback.
