Hey guys relax, we are all on the same team, aren't we? We are in joint contract negotiations, how can we expect to get any gains when we can't come to the table unified. I'm sure management is licking their chops to see us divide ourselves so they can conquer. But to go back to the topic of PBS, ASA management wants to get rid of our vacation low, which allows us to work 6-8 days and credit 75 hrs, in the worst kind of way, and possibly terminating the whole system because it isnt working in their favor, but contractually they can't. We all want the best quality of life but if we push too hard against each other we all will be working 12-15 days on every vacation month. I will be the first to admit that Xjt bidding is sweet, bid conflict and get paid for both ends, trip drop and premium pickup etc. however, I have a hard time believing it will remain. In the interest of all of us, we need to foster lines of communication that aid in providing accurate information, not name calling. So can someone tell me why they think we can get the current xjt system through, without major concessions in other areas? And if it's not realistic, isn't it smart to take option 1a , which is better than most regionals and even some legacies, and not have to give concessions in this aspect of the contract, and focus our demands on other areas?.
