These are even concessionary to L-CAL, if you don't think they're concessionary to L-UAL then you are truly on board with Team FLIBS. We "put up with" the current crappy work rules because we had them shoved down our throats by the threat of bankrupcy. You vote for this POS, you own it.
1. 73 hour reserve guarantee is an increase to our contract.
2. 6 Holy days and 6 moveable RDOs is status quo to our contract. The 6 Holy days are consecutive and the RDOs are in 2 blocks of 3 or 3 blocks or 2. You cannot be assigned rsv duty on those days. They can only be moved if given a flying assignment (no other rsv available) on a rsv day (not RDO) and trip rolls onto the RDO. The RDO is restored. We have been doing this for my 15 yrs here. It works well.
The domestic RDOs are all immoveable except one. A BIG improvement for CAL
3. Double pump?? OK. After your 12:45 rest (14 block to block). That is no change here at UAL. BIG improvement for CAL
4. US AIR outsource? Again...status quo. No change. AMR will probably take care of this for us. Just like UAL stole CAL from Sky Team.
