ONLY if we get a 6 1/2 hour minimum day, 78 hr reserve guarantee, 80 block guarantee, and extra week of vacation/year, a min. day's pay (see above, 6 1/2 hrs) for each day of training, and some CONSIDERABLE pay & credit for initial training. And that's just off the top of my head. A 20% raise won't BEGIN to address what we SHOULD be paid. Today's contract is a concessionary bankruptcy contract, and don't ever forget it!
Rant over...
