Trip Rig 1:4
PPS Guaranteed value of $5.4M-$6.3M per year
More guaranteed days off (12-13 for reserves now, and 11-12 for lineholders)
FAR 117 pay protections
Slightly higher rate increases (1.5%)

Its a few thousand dollars a year and some improved work rules for the average pilot.

Vote "no" if you like, but get yourself informed and don't believe everything you read on the forums. If this gets voted down, I think us pilots should get really comfortable with the current policy manual, 'cause it's going to be a LONG time before we see round three.
Lol. Are you by chance on first year pay. It took 3 months from the last vote to get this one done. Company is anxious to raise first year pay. I'm not sure which way I'm voting yet, but I'm not worried about getting stuck with the current deal. It's heading the right direction, but I think we can do better.
