I wasn't expecting a legacy contract (we can hope sure, but realistically), but we need real solid work rule improvements. I've said since day one that the work rules were far more important than the actual pay rate numbers. A single day off here and there (like we saw with line bidding) wasn't horrible, but the contract is supposed to be an improvement. The ability to put up to 6 single days off on a schedule is ridiculous. I get that now. 2 days off together should be the min (preferably 3 day off blocks being the min allowed). Spirit gets a min 4 days off together...and 12 days off in a 30 day month/13 in a 31. We should be seeing 12/13 at LEAST with no ability to reduce the days off.
And while it's nice to see a max 95 hour month, the company's mentality that everyone here wants to fly the max hours allowed to make money drives me nuts. Do I want to get 100 credit? Sure, do I want to fly that? No thanks. I want the ability to bid low hours and still get days off. But I guess that's just a pipe dream.
