I commute and fly mostly four days, averaging 14-15 days a month away from home. If the day credit was calendar based and was raised to 6 hours, would't I be working less days away from home for the same number of hours. Now factor in a 20% increase in the pay rate and it is now a different ballgame. Please understand, I am not trying to settle....just trying to wrap my poor, burned out mad dog brain around possible options. Would someone better with numbers like to play around with this and let me know how it looks. Jethro Bodean and I are not far apart, mentally.
To me that would help the cause.
Hence, why the reason not to go to defcon 4 over the nnp and hope what was said there was more strategic than it looks. Say a mutually agreed to lead trial balloon of some concessions that the NC does not want and not some all of a sudden sloppy communicating of portions of something that does not and should not be released piecemeal.
That's the glass half full view.
Section 1, however, still remains seperate from Section 2 and on.
