The pay rate ASK coming from the contract survey 23 percent over the life FWIW.. I don't think that even gets us back to 2004 rates.. They plan on selling this as you all are making more now then you did in 2004 with PS and by moving up in positions ...

PS the Co wants to change the Metrics of how it is figured no details provided...But it would only effect the larger threshold ...

The big hang ups are going to be my favorite topic SCOPE Relief for yet more JVs.. The CO wants more "Flexibility" to transfer flying to JV partners no surprise there.. And wants the whole AF/KLM grievance to just be reset and go away with no cash to you for the 5 years of Non-Compliance and stagnation as a result..

.Sick Time was brought up they want to reign that in Their proposal leave the 100 hours unchanged then the remainder would be "Managed" by a 3rd party with restrictions ...

But in exchange for those changes you would be able to use your "Sick Time" for the care of family members. Similar to MN CA and WA State law already allow and GA and NY are getting ready to change...

Pay Bsnding was brought up but the A350 was lumped into the A330 with still no crew rest area.....

Small changes to DC money 1-2 percent at the most ...Retirment Medical being discussed but not really much interest from the pilot group to push for this..

There was some talk of manatory Upgrades in base but sources said that proposal was DOA..FWIW....

Your input is important talk with your Reps We still have some Weak Links on the MEC if your based in CVG SLC or ATL you may want to submit your input as those bases seemed to have the weakest links...In the opinion of several good men...

Take it for what it's worth Call your Rep's your input does matter...

But IMO C2015 will falll well short of what some in our pilot are expecting out of it....
