These above items deserve our highest priority.
Premium overtime pay is great, except that it is controlled by crew planning/scheduling, NOT us.
Open time and transition conflicts, which I like, are also controlled by the company.
I still want to have those options, only as options, not something my finances depend on.

Once we depend on anything that is company controlled to supplement our income, instead of improving guarantee and pay,
we have given away our financial future to the discretion of the company.

It makes sense to fight for rules that are concrete, and not company controlled.
