A lot of people were dreading this and claiming we'd lose our benefits completely. Not a very realistic scenario, especially when half the employees wouldn't be able to get to work and all our flights would cancel. It'll be cool when there's more than a smiley face to let us know the loads.

Good riddance. Satan will enjoy it in hell. One guy said he heard the earlier arbitration about 50-seat Captain pay was contingent upon us actually having a 200, though I've heard that's not the case more frequently. To get to the bottom of it I dug into the contract, but I can't actually find any mention of training/vacation/deadheading/etc. being paid at 50-seat rates. Could someone direct me to the correct section or paragraph?
But in the course of looking through it, I found this little bit:
A pilot will not be required to pay for the use of any equipment required for training or equipment used in scheduled operations, e.g., WAC charts, Jeppesen manuals, flashlights, fuel strainers or Company manuals, unless lost or damaged due to pilot negligence. WAC charts, Jeppesen manuals are issued to First Officers at Company discretion.
So how does that work with paying for EFB's? I know it was optional earlier, but isn't it mandatory for all newhires now?
