Paycheck issuance... We still get paid the 15th and 25th..and the 15th is always $1k, balance on the 25th

Base available when displaced: finally got rid of that.. But until recently, if you got displaced off a trip for training, you had to be base available until departure time. Try that one when you commute from dfw-LGA... Ugh

5hr min day..still don't have that. UAL/dal have had it for a while now. Resulting in 3 day trips that pay 11 and change. We're trying to get a fix to trip/duty rig rather than the 5hr min day, as the rigs would pay the same as 5 day min while making us more productive.

Those are just a few where we always lagged behind the other big 3
I know. I was being rhetorical. It seems that pay rates and retirement seem to be the only thing APA judges a career on. We leave so much money on the table daily due to lack of work rules.
