How are the work rules worse? I'd love to see some examples.

The Caribbean override was going away regardless and no one uses the override in MVY and ACK. So if you compare that to the protection LOA #5 gives you, it's a win. Also, read LOA #5 closely. When the road show makes it's way down there, they have a spreadsheet that will help it all make sense. It's not perfect, but in my opinion, I'm glad to see our "B scale" go away.

Like I said above, compare what this contract gives you to not having a contract and losing the overrides altogether. Also, like most people have been previously posting, compare this contract to other regionals. It's not better than all of them, but definitely better than most of them.
