Oh, "Pilot Working Agreement"
FSP: "Flight Standards Pilot" - LCP's, LVP's
LCP: "Line Check Pilot"
LVP: "Line Validation Pilot" - FO's that serve as "nurse practitioners" doing light work like theater qualifications.

It sounds like the pilots didn't read the fine print if it says 'with mutual agreement.'
Oh man, pilots don’t read. We just ask Facebook… Or the kiddoes just throw the whole contract into ChatGPT and attempt to ask/answer questions as if they’re contractual experts.

Basically SJI has to be different and use non-standard acronyms and verbiage for just about everything.

That mutual agreement has lasted years. Why do you think management has suddenly made an about face?
Rhetorical question, of course. We all know the answer.
Well, yeah and no.
Hear me out!
Considering the airline is over a century old, maybe it's the rest of the industry that changed the vernacular?
You know, the British saying "Theatre" and "Colour" while we Americans say "Theater" and "Color" then tell the Brits they're being obstinate and weird.
Money. Pure and simple.
In another division I moonlight in, not directly in Flight Ops, one of the managing directors said "You're expensive" and I said "You're damned right I am. Find someone less expensive with cross-divisional expertise AND flies an airplane... which I go to work and generate the revenue that drives the airline, just what do YOU do?"
"I was just making a joke"
"I was literally about to quit, tell you there's no transition binder and how I'll be more expensive when you beg me to come back"
"Man, you got triggered quick!"
"I'm a 'steal'"
The problem is that when you have the courage to speak truth to power, you tend to pick up a lot of interesting opportunities, and I tend to want to do them all.
Shhhhhhh… you are gonna trigger Mr. DDSWell, yeah and no.

Probably someone from the SLC base. (Seriously, don’t google “soaking”).
