The same can be said for DALPA. They continue to ignore the problem--the one they created--label 5800+ fellow pilots as "scourge" and "pretenders," while doing business as usual, attacking all who dare say there are problems. If they simply REPRESENTED the pilots. It's really that simple.
No kidding. As if the L&G needed more aggressive salesmen.

Not correct (sorry, no offense intended). ALPA has reserved all rights to file a grievance, thus placing the Company on notice that they feel the matter is actionable. ALPA has moved forward in good faith to try to resolve the issue (management initially thought there was not an issue, ALPA has convinced management to negotiate).
A negotiated agreement (certainty) is better than a grievance hearing (uncertainty). I've seen good grievances lose.

Well, almost free. I would think this is nearly what the spares are worth.
... and how much did we pay for ours? Wonder if we are writing down the residuals to avoid tax? We could almost buy these and use it for spares. I'd rather see them flying.
Isn't it amazing how the bottom dropped out of the 777-200 market?

I'm guessing the 787 will even cost more to maintain with more magic, carbon fiber patch kits, oh, and all the spare batteries!

Why can't DALPA communicate its intent to us officially, if any of these rumors are, in fact, true? This whole fiasco has been entirely non-transparent.
p.s. "feel[ing]" the matter is actionable" and actually taking action are not the same.

Well, I disagree but do not take offense. You can reserve all the rights you want to but my point was the impression it makes. As you saw from my post, I said this was an intangible and would not/could not be cited to justify anything, but it does leave an impression. And as it's my opinion as to how this could possibly influence minds involved in resolving a grievance there is no right or wrong. And if you don't think opinions matter in such circumstances just look at the SCOTUS. They have all manners of precedence to refer to and can back any vote of theirs up with legal citations, but in the end it usually comes down to their interpretation vs someone else's.
The reason the Supreme Court gets to make interpretations is because that is their job description. They are kinda unique as Courts go, don't you think?
As for precedent, there is none. Action taken under a reservation of rights is not precedent. Wiki's your buddy Reservation of rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bet a negotiated resolution happens before we could get a grievance hearing....

I may be missing something here, but if you are saying you have a 3 day trip next Monday and there is another 3 day trip in the pot on that same Monday, you can swap that trip no matter what the reserve levels are. (Assuming it is more than a day out). You could also swap the 3 day for a longer trip assuming it covered all the days that were even on reserves or less.
