To say that we should have known better when we came here is short sighted in my opinion. The wealth of knowledge about the goat rope we run here wasn't as readily available years ago. To say "we always got Tue/Wed/Sat off and you should expect that" is willing to settle. We want to make things better for all, not stay status quo. There are improvements on that doc floating around to be sure, but overall I'm disappointed and everyone I've talked to is ready to vote NO.
I disagree that it's short sighted or that we would be settling. I look at that like we're doing our part to keep our different animal profitable. This place isn't designed for commuters. It never has been and never will be.
I do have a big problem with them being able to reduce anything on peak months unless those months are predefined and other slower predefined months come additional days off.
I also expect to see the ability to drop without regard to reserve coverage. They can MM at hopefully 200%. If we still can't drop trips because of coverage, I will be inclined to vote no.
I'm looking forward to the road shows.
