We do have some cherry items but on the whole we average. Red/green is leading, transition is leading. We need real trip and duty rigs, a mid day not a min duty period. I came from line bidding with better vacation drop so that exists. Anyone with line bidding will have transition conflicts and training conflicts it's just a matter of how they get solved. Ours is the best by far but none are hurt financially by bidding into a conflict. We gave away most of our training conflict with the iPad LOA. Easy 1% staffing reduction for the company. Having instructors on the seniority list is a great thing that is being eaten away at by the company and we currently have a grievance for. Our instructors don't bid regular lines which would be huge for fos being able to bid a check airman line and get the entire month off, so we are average there. Having four days off is nice but working six is not. Ask a sw guy how many days off they have between trips due to trip rigs and min days off of 15/16.

Point being we are average as a whole. I also consider scope a work rule and the most important one of all and the codesharing language is industry bottom.
