Then in the future we can up the percentages in the next contract. I do not think it is too much to ask.
No I want hard scheduling rules with financial fines to the pilot (not the union) when they cheat. I want hard contract language that says when they can and can't claim insufficient reserves. And if they add stbys to manipulate the system then they have to pay pilots to sit stby. I want real time trip trading. When I am the number 3 VTO I want to be able to build my schedule third and if it is all R Days I want to pick the R days from the available pool. To get that we will have to negotiate.
