The new trip trade system(while good in theory) rarely allows a trade and almost never allows a trade other than day for a day. In my previous cal contract if the trip ran a day late, you got your day restored with 150%... now you lose the day off. The pay scales are nice. Deltas new pay scales look very good. But, i see alot more pilots clawing there way to 89+ hrs than ever before. I agree with someone who said it earlier in the thread that the company cant find a way to manipulate the payscales...but i didnt sign on to be an airline pilot so i could work myself to death....
