I started that sailingfun reply like 4 hours ago or something, went and made dinner and lunches for kids, came back and found it half done, so finished it...
I laughed to see Scambo's reply of "ah screw it", as that's exactly how I always feel after wasting 30 min arguing here.

Anyways, the good end result here is that we're all looking at and thinking about how small tweaks in the contract can affect the total pilots and manning, and that helps get us ready for C2015. Scoop is spot on, and someone else who agreed with him, the 30 day month was a bigger tweak... but since he had covered that, and no one was standing up for the "ALV+15 was a concession, let's not do that again..." discussion, I did it.

Thanks for your comments and thoughts on all this Alan, Scoop, shiznit, Jungle, sailingfun, scambo, Freebird, FTB-- when we discuss this stuff and do the back and forth analysis, it makes us all more ready for a good C2015.

(sailing, or Alan: was reading the LiveContract to work through some scenarios on that 60 hour reserve average driving hiring... can NOT seem to find that dang formula anywhere, though have read it before! Can someone give me a helpful pointout on that? Thx)
