Employees on company business should get EC of FC seats before a customer gets a FREE upgrade to one of these seats.

I propose the creation of a Pilot ONLY Positive Space Upgrade that puts us in the mix at or above Diamond Medallion status. It lets the company keep the revenue if they sell the seat and minimizes the impact by not including all PSUP at that level. The "me-too" argument was killed forever by the company's unilateral change to non-pilot profit sharing, so don't even suggest they would have to include all PSUP.

Delta Air Lines has tripled Seattle business in 3 years, CEO sees more growth ahead - Puget Sound Business Journal

And in the latest CR newsletter, the pilot base is now larger than SLC.

Still not a "hub."

Um... guys... I don't think we're going to be able to backdoor anymore. The links are different.

I couldn't pull up previous months awards.

When a backdoor closes another will be found. 1 out of 13200 will figure it out

That same language is in our current counter offer. Even if the company agrees to our current proposal I'll vote no based solely on the scope section. Seattle is but one of the problems.

I'm guessing when the June awards come out, it'll be easy to see the difference, if any, between the URLs of May and June. From there, the vaunted back door may, in fact, still be alive.

I think you're right. While it is new URLs, the functionality appears that it will be identical.
