ALPA's proposals per the latest email:
· All Open Time at 150%.
· Increased Open Time to reduce or eliminate the “credit push.”
· Enable Max Line Range – Premium pay above a certain specified level of pay credit.
· Hotel rooms in domicile for pilots who are rescheduled to overnight in domicile.
· Parking stipend for commuters.
· Increase vacation pay from 2.5 to 3.5 hours per day.
· Deadhead pay moving from 75% to 100%.
· Alternate DH deviation – would allow a pilot at the end of a trip to change a DH to domicile to a DH home.
· Commute in during the call out period on the first day of a reserve sequence.
· Early release from P1 and P2 for Reserve pilots – P1 release at 1400, P2 release at 1900.
· Reserve pilot’s ability to waive 11 hours domicile rest in order to secure RRA on a pilot’s last day.
· Moving the Bid Timeline earlier – move the final line awards to be out on the 16th and match timeline for FTIs.
No mention of pay rate improvements which is unfortunate. I was under the impression the contract amendments was to make this company attractive for 600+ new hires next year. We'll still get people in the door but I don't see 600 under current book. We'll see.
