@ Packrat:
I would much rather have had a day off instead of the 1 hour add pay for losing my day off. Cencal are you willing to give up a day off for an hour pay?
It used to be that we had a choice of whether we wanted the day off restored or pay for it.
This was all promptly confirmed to me by the SSC. They say there will be a "Next Steps" article about it soon.
As I get older, getting time off with my family takes on greater importance, over $$. I wish that philosophy were shared by those who wrote these rules.
I agree 100%. I'd rather have a day off then 1 hour of ADD pay. Memories you can keep, money will fade and can be taken.
I know that GLOBAL line holders do not get a day off restored whereas GLOBAL reserves do. Check Section 5 for min days off and Section 20 for scheduling. It's really absurd, but it seems as though reserves get some better rules versus the lineholders, hence why I bid reserve.
Moral of the story, let's all keep track of these gotchas and remedy them in our next contract. (If we can work together).
