*SCOPE--decrease number of allowed >51 seat jets, plus possible restrictions on rj flying such as 500 mi distance limit, no hub to hub flying, sunset current contracts.
More limitations on codeshare flying. Scope is issue #1 for me and I communicated that to them in the survey.
*Min daily guarantee--Any Delta calendar day, ie. DH, CQ, 30 hr layover, etc. pays min guarantee. Period, no exceptions. Way too many 3 day trips with 11 hrs of pay.
*Reserve--75 hrs/mo and 14 days off. Rsv paid the same as a lineholder, put some seniority back in the system re: assigning trips
*Vac--needs to be paying way more than 3 hrs/day.
Sounds almost identical to mine roadrunner. I asked for vacation to be paid at the min daily guarantee.
