Auto release for pilot after 8 hours last day(you have to call to notify you are exercising) The only part not good is the call if you still have duty time after an assignment which not sure that even complies with 117. It would also be rare to have time left.
You didn't read it wrong, not sure where someone thinks it could be drastically improved, other than the potential number of reserve lines. Talked to a UPS guy today and he is ridiculously happy with his health coverage, so that is a huge improvement. Actually getting paid for sitting around waiting on stuff to be fixed, etc...actually getting paid for DH regardless of meeting the 70 hr min. The scope and job protection. The true unknown is the PBS system...while it would be great to see actual line bidding, senior guys not having to deal with reserve on their schedule is a nice plus, which will increase their days off, which would pretty much remove much of the possibility of merely having single days off. Home study pay...lots of little nuggets in there to increase credit hours.
