That went away when we asked the company to drop the CDO's as well as the 13th hour of long call.
My understanding of the pay, no credit for 5:15 would have gone into effect at the same time as the new FTDT rules, followed later by 5:15 pay and credit. According to my reps, the Negotiating Committee briefed on Wednesday that the Company had requested to get rid of the 5:15 pay, no credit part, as that would have substantially increased the programming time needed to implement the entire LOA, and they did not wish to duplicate their efforts. In return, they proposed to hold off implementing the FAR duty tables until 5:15 pay and credit came into effect.
It was the next day (Thursday) that the direction to pull SDP's came down. In return for that, we apparently gave up the additional hour for long call response.
