A big part of the problem is the FAs. It's not that the company doesn't want a new FA contract; the problem is that there are many FAs perfectly happy working without a postmerger contract.

We see that at our MEC level as well. With one side crowing that they forced a membership vote for this TA along legacy lines. Even posted the vote division on this and the pay web site as well.
There is a big push in the upcoming MEC Chairman election for a Pierce type MEC chairman. The company may be trying to delay contract just to gain favorable leadership at the MEC. Added a little low hanging fruit as a kicker.

I can agree with that. I see that as the inability of the F/A leaders of both sides not willing to do the right thing for all F/A's.

The FAs from both legacy airlines are so far apart its not even funny… the only way this will be fixed is in arbitration with both FA union negotiators, the company, and the arbitrators… and Yes, the LCAL flight attendants are happy with status quo… because they are a lot junior group and flying the cream of the crop international trips right out of training while the LUAL flight attendants options are dwindling and getting pushed to reserve domestic...

I flew a 777C model the other day to/from FRA/EWR and half the FAs were very young… maybe they were on RSV as you say. You don't see that very often on the 777A/B models with LUAL FAs.

If it was the other day, I'm guessing they were reserves due to the senior ones having vacation, being able to bid it off, catching a cold to be home during the holidays, etc etc.

It looks like Flight Ops figured that was a good idea. CCS front page showed premium pay for all 320 and 737 the last few days, over the New Year.
