That is enough to make this an easy no, but when you take a glance at the sick leave portion, it's enough to make you puke. This is a giant overreach by the company, which is expected, but the blatant sell out by the very people who are supposed to represent our interests is disgusting.
That's how it works, small bites. They take away a little here, a little more over there, and pretty soon you've got nothing left.
Look at how over the past 20 years we gave away 50% of our domestic flying to DCC RJ's, in small bites and pretty soon there were 600 RJ's. Why do you think the company wants to switch to Block Hours for JV Scope? Same concept, only with our Big Iron.
