That has been your refrain ever since the issue was first brought up. Just because you repeat it over and over, doesn't make it true. Several people here have detailed exactly what has changed for the worse since this all began. Yet, you stick to your guns with remarkable zeal. What the hell is wrong with trying to improve the contract? What is your angle and who are you trying to appease? Your sample of satisfied pilots is laughably small. As I mentioned to Sled, the other forum has had a fairly continuous stream of detailed SC and FIFO abuses. I think that we're better off sampling a much a larger group of people if we're going to consider changes. That's where the PDR's will come in handy.
I've been on reserve for most of my career here, and I know all the systems we've worked under quite well. I post this because other people, particularly new hires, might just swallow your proclamations as gospel and I'd like to suggest otherwise.
In the end all this doesn't matter and I'm clearly wasting my time typing this. The MEC doesn't apparently doesn't think it's that important, well at least the last one didn't, and neither do most of the pilots here. I think I'll bow out of this discussion until its highlighted by the MEC and / or we're closer to negotiations.
