LUS didn't even have a line guarantee and combined with A320 CAs making $125/hr $85/hr FOs topped out, I'll take the current AA contract every single time. Guys must have some serious selective memory or they never flew under the LUS contract as a block holder to know just how bad it was. Reserve was great as we had a ton of them but we made $50k/yr on an Airbus. Spirit guys made way more than us.
I would like LOS to be implemented but if you deferred it goes to only the time you elected to come back. Anyone who came back right away should get full LOS. IMO. Min day will just mean the junior guys are going to be doing red eyes imbedded in regular trips, they're not going away but I would like an override for them. They are brutal.
