The loss of a first class DH. Misnomer and misleading, we never had a guaranteed first class except over 16 hours. We have had a class upgrade that the company can and is playing with under the current language that you guys want to keep indefinitely. The Lie Flat provision is well defined and guarantees at least a class upgrade.

Six week bid periods are our idea, and a good one. 10 four week and 2 six week months make scheduling much easier and is much more conducive to time off then 8 and 4 5 week. Nothing stops the company from scheduling 8 five week months and 3 four week months now but they don't, why?

The expanded use of hub sleep rooms. Can only happen if they can guarantee just about every hub turner a sleep room. But Bluto they control the schedule and make it so they don't require one. Yes and they do that now, I have day hub turns that went from 4:20 turns to 3:58 and I have lost my sleep room.

The loss of HILOs. The gain of rolling travel banks.

The yet to be determined SLR language. The company can use whatever secondary line program they want, nothing stops them contractually, with this TA they have agreed to work with us. If you are senior and bidding a VTO you will have more say over your schedule then now. If you are Junior and bidding a VTO you will have more say over your schedule then now.

The PBS delusion. Our VTOs are and have always been and will always be a form of PBS. Right now it is a very bad version of PBS. The NC has attempted to make it better.

Enough for now. Nap time.
