You made my point sky. I agree with you 150%(see what I did there
) but who cares anymore. It's gone. The group gave it away, they gave a lot away, we all know that. But it was voted in and thats how it works. Its been what 3 years, in the enlightened words of Rambo(from First Blood the only good one) "Let it go."
I didn't say I was upset. I said I'd like to see the topic discussed six times a day. This is after all an Internet discussion forum. DN_Wisconson brought it up, I'm discussing it. Why do you care?
Those who forget history are doomed to forget it....or something like that.
Do you have a better understanding of where we are with overtime and premium pay? Was not the intent of giving up 150%OT to put more pay in ALL pockets? Did we accomplish that? Why are some still able to get paid well over average line value - within this contract - for flying 72 hours and some get paid 72 for flying 72? Was that the intent of the language? I don't think so! I think our negotiators were making an honest attempt to spread the pay out. Unfortunately, unintended consequences are allowing the disparities to continue while most are kept out of the game so to speak.
Let's keep up the discussions and prepare to fix it next time. Negotiations will be here before we know it.
