This is the part where we sit tight, like big boys and girls, and make sure that we respect our actual obligations, while negotiations take place. All we need to do is calmly defend our rights, and time is our leverage. Hystrionics demonstrate impatience, and impatience demonstrates a willingness to agree to weak terms.
Check your calendar: we're not even in our second month under Part 117.
Exactly, time to wind the clock. I'm sure a grievance will be filed if it is necessary. If you think the company is violating the contract make sure you document it. There are some very good people in contract admin and scheduling over at Dalpa.
