You see, the problem we have in hand is because of the 1500 rule. That goes away, the scale tips in favor of airline management.
Let's see what happens to the override pays, day off flying etc. etc. when that takes place.

Lower limitations may or may not happen. That's speculation. If you know something that we don't please pm me next weeks powerball numbers.
If you think the 1500 hour rule is the issue airline management needs to change to tip the scales in their favor you are sorely mistaken. I would say the most sever issues they face in order are: their previous (and aguably still) inadequent and embarrassingly low pay. Second, the mandatory retirement age of 65.
The best thing anyone can do for themselves is put themselves in a position to be employed at an airline that has contracted terms that seem to ensure a good future if they were to be stuck there long term.
