I can accept your observation on days worked as one of the outcomes from the lack of a waiver, for some pilots. However, the fact still remains that the waiver was no longer needed and the contractual parameters are being followed. Does that mean it's a change for some? No doubt, but having the company adhere to the contract is the desired goal right?
If anything it shows how forked up the company has been in its fleet and marketing planning for these past 5 years.
Would you not classify working more days for less pay as a "pay cut?"
The EWR 777 base has always been a special animal due to the amount of ultra-long haul trips. The company has been trying for a long time to somehow reduce the amount of guys going to the sim for landings, it looks like they finally accomplished it by throwing in just enough domestic flying to dilute the solution and push flying trips farther down the list.
