Actually, the real answer is that we don't know. The scheduling section of the contract doesn't take affect until January and the January bid period is still open. We won't know for sure until the schedules are published...even then, it may take a month or two to get it exactly right and fully realize the effect of the language.
I don't foresee any significant changes, but the company's contracted labor relations firm is very good at interpreting language in a manner that intentionally maximizes negative unintended consequences and then blaming the CBA and/or union, so we'll see.
