Two votes versus one, you're right.

I do like the ADG and think it will be a net line item win for us, although I'm sure we'll see a few unintended consequences in future bid packets as they company prioritizes not paying it through soft credit.

The 330 rest is also an improvement. Does this bring it back to what it had before? I can't blame our reps for that one, as the arbitrator was on the company's side on that and was just "legislating from the bench" when they just took it away in the first place. So I'm glad that's back.

I also like the fNWA longevity fix. While it won't apply to 90%+ fNWA pilots in terms of pay since almost all are max scale anyway it was still the right thing to do and will occasionally get someone into the next vacation/sick accrual bucket a couple months sooner.

I just don't get why when this entire negotiations, which was triggered by significant leverage WRT reserve notification, wasn't used to increase the long call leash and I really can't believe that for day one reports we said "we see your Steve Dickson memo, and raise you two hours earlier!"

While I'm not categorically against CDO's (SDP's, whatever) I wasn't crazy about the language in this particular proposal. 2 hours is just too long for these IMO for the worst case on the ground times. I would have preferred 1:30 or less. Also I thought it was this section that mandated the "fly to the FAR's" for duty periods, but the revised email still has this language in it. What exactly does that mean at this point? We didn't give up all the extra buffer time we had for regular pairings did we?

As for the costing of this, I can't figure out how our guys cost out something that they don't know and can't control, but the company knows and does control. CDO's as well as augmented domestic in all its forms is a function of how many, if any, the company decides to do, and they can change at any time. How do we put a fixed cost on that in the first place?

Especially the reported 2million cost differential between the original and revised TA's that was based primarilly on CDO's not being a part of the new one. So 2 million cost for something we had no idea how many they'd do or when they'd do them?

In any case the whole thing was a reserve crisis requiring a reserve solution and was a huge opportunity to significantly increase reserve QOL while simultaneously driving up manning requirements. But instead most of the gains went to other areas and we even lowballed the company's own unilateral short call memo to help fund other things. Long call only gained an hour, but with the interesting and potentially nefarious down the road precident shattering concept of automatic, instantaneous notification merely upon first attempted contact but then we gave that hour back anyway just to undo something else we originally included that had nothing directly to do with the reserve issues in question.
