The clues we've been handed from reps is that transition language as it stands is a non-starter, which is why I brought up some alternatives a few pages back. If that's the way it's gonna be- fine. It'll be up to us (NC via I assume polling) to come up with a solution. I heard it best from LEC 18 CA Rep P.D.: regardless of how much money or credit a guy makes from transition, the MEC/NC view it as a QOL provision. I agree with that viewpoint, so with that in mind, it should only be modified/replaced by other QOL items (not sold for a rate/PS/etc).

So what solutions are out there? Not PBS in my opinion, for the reasons I stated in my last post along with many others. That's why I'm a fan of a solid min calendar day, elimination of trip averaging, and higher min days off than currently agreed to. If anyone else has other possible solutions let's hear them.
