Yes. If block or better is something you want to pursue, it would need to be based on marketing block so it cannot be manipulated.

Why set a fixed rate for VOLUNTARY reflow? If they don't offer enough, then don't do it. That creates a free-market system, in some cases they'd probably offer 300%...

Invol reflow (of any sort) should have pay protection for what you bid PLUS at least 150% on the reflow.

Which would then set the cap to any market rate .... so it better be higher than 150%.

Our partners set the block times. Educate yourself on block or better and why we're getting screwed people. Block or better needs to be one of the top priorities.

After that, I would like to see incentives for more flying or pick ups on off days (percentage override after x hours awarded/ flown, automatically start at 150% and go up from there). I would also like to see compensation for ridiculously long sits whether scheduled or actual (mtx delays, etc). Get rid of "scheduled" and replace with "actual" for duty rigs. Too many instances of people getting paid 4-5 hours credit for a max FDP day (myself included). Complete crap and destroys morale.

Anything less than Republic hourly rates is an automatic no vote from me.

And stop proposing 5 year deals in this market.

Do you get to vote? What say do any of the pilots have in these talks?

There's no reason it would set the cap for market rate, the two are not related.

Of course they do. Once the voluntary reflow turns into an involuntary reflow there is a cap.

Just like not offering more than $800 for a denied boarding and then resort to call the airport cops for Chinese take-out.

What kind of question is this? Any TA proposal that is presented to the pilots gets voted on to be approved/ denied.
