Wait for the TA, read it carefully and then decide.
On the 29/7, I'd gladly get rid of it if we got rid of trip averaging and a real min per calendar day. 5.25 or higher. I'd rather be paid when I'm at work and have more efficient trips then be capped. If you can credit 32-35 hours in 6 days it means more days off. Days you won't need to fight for a conflict. Just my opinion.
Calender day pay will never return. We fly too many single duty period trips that span two calender days, aka red eye turns. Our CBA is basic and unsophisticated. It will need to become complicated, become specialized, in order to properly address multi day pairings.
