I have no problems with it--we'll get the money in those other areas.
It goes without saying that the duty rig fix should be one of the priorities in the next contract.
As usual the west takes in the shorts. This was a big deal for the west as our 3 day Hawaii trips blocked 12 and paid 15.45, big hit. R57 is right, new rest rules mean more long layovers. To add insult to injury they throw the money on per diem which the west already had.
