IMO, but use the $$ spent on raises for QOL improvements and work rule improvements in future contracts/negotiations. My commuter had way more soft time credit than this contract has IMO. The reserve rules were implemented at AA apparently but not US?!? It's fun to get a hard-on saying stuff like "I make $xxx per hour" but in reality you are making under half of that and even worse if stuff cancels.

Personally I'd prefer a contract/place of work that allows you the ability to make a comfortable living maximizing days off and if you want to make more, let's get 150% open time pay.
