OMG! CAL Buddy Passes now $250

[EWR_FO]

Next thing, they'll want to negotiate it out of the contract since so few people are using them, and give the CAL pilots nothing for it in return (seen this tactic before; it's slow, it's methodical, and it's diabolical because the pilot group can't remember how good they used to be if it's done slowly over time).

They are not part of our contract, that's why they can change the rules at will.

The POINT is that a company should NOT be using a NON-REVENUE companion pass TO GENERATE REVENUE... What part of that is hard to understand?

This makes sense. Maybe I wasn't comprehending the other ways this was worded. My bad.

Non-Rev privleges and buddy passes are part of our overall compensation. Take them away...or make them what is basically revenue tickets....then I WANT more money.

some people in this thread are forgetting that they are literally part of your compensation package.

Yep, it's a passive concession.

Isn't this a violation of status quo during Section 6 negotiations under the RLA?

No, because non-rev travel isn't covered by the contract.
