Either ask another question or these guys will go on and on and on and on and on about the last point. Kind of like they way they talk about our current contract passing.
Come on, I was just going to bring up the loss of 150% for only the 5th time...........today.
I for one would like to see the 150 topic arise six times a day!

Because giving up 150% open time gives all of the premium pay to those who live in base and who are willing to be crew schedulings bwitch.
In contract 2003, everyone had a shot at premium pay, with seniority determining priority. Now we have a free for all among only a certain few, with most of us locked out.
I won't argue the intent of the contract, but the result is definitely not "spreading the wealth". It amounted to nothing more than an unintended redistribution of the premium pay. .....and those of us with a life lost out.
