If FedEx cancels a trip, then I'm pay protected...which wasn't the case under the old AA contract-no clue in the new one.

Our vacation system, health care, retirement, and-God help me-monthly scheduling are all way better. Love the fact that a decent percentage of our trips are scheduled DHs.

So, I don't want to give up my A plan, accept PBS-just to exceed AA's pay rates. Just me, but a 16% B plan isn't worth it just to claim the highest pay rate.

My total compensation is the whole package, cut my hourly rate in half and up the min duty period pay to 7sh with a corresponding trip rig change. Doesn't matter to me. I just want my W2 to increase with some mods to our A&B plan and a more rational travel bank system. With the minimal flights out of Memphis, deviation travel is saving the company a ton of $$ and they should share the wealth
The same 116hr TAFB trip, with a 1:3.5 trip rig at AA, would pay 33:08. AND, they now have a higher hourly rate.
