-- No vacation slide.
-- No bidding for CQ. The company--not you--determined when you went to recurrent.
-- 9 hour layover, reducible to 8. And you are complaining about 10 hours?
-- No Duty Period Average, no Average Daily Guarantee. Starting in November every trip will average 5.15 a day min, both for regular and reserve pilots. This was achieved by an LOA you apparently lament.

Etc.

Also, I recommend you change your screen name. Yes we all have "unique" screen names, some more so than others. But as long as you call yourself "Poostain" you could be God himself and no one will take you seriously. ("Gee Margaret, looks like the union is all riled up. I even heard that 'Poostain' is upset.")
