Had you posted that above, I would have said nothing. Even though most of those items were not preventable in the old contract either.
But that is not what you wrote. You were not referring to the contract language. You were referring to lines built "now". Read it:

And the fact is lines built now and for the past two years have been way less than 90h. I wish they would be 90h but they are often mid 70s. Fact...
Also fact that we have been operating in green days. Including March! Meaning I could drop whatever I want whenever I want. No need to call crew scheduling just click it. No need to play sick call games.
Another fact is, and I did not even know this until recently, there is no limit on drops anymore. I can drop down to zero hours if I feel like. Who can do that elsewhere?
Fact is that even my buddy, who is still on reserve, was able to use the transition language and get extra 4-6 days off because of it.
I am mid seniority in my seat in my base and the past few months I have been able to make an extra 15-22 hours of soft time due to transition.
How about mentioning these fact along with the bad ones? Just to maintain a good balance in order to draw a correct picture.

For now there is no board that is using real names. Without that you can forget about a good discussion. It will only be the mob and the mud.
Like I have said. Go and work on activating the alpa board. I chew each union guys' ear whenever I see them about it.
