I really don't know anything about ASA's workrules and I know how they can dramatically change the compensation picture (e.g. XJT vs RAH). I would glady take a small or no raise in exchange for better work rules (trip/duty rights and min day).

What will drive your management to the bargaining table though? They know that there is still a solid supply of 250 hour wonders and we can't strike. How can we bargain in the environment? What about negotiating minimum experience in the next contract?
