I'm okay with the pay rate if sick and vacation get addressed. How about if our vacation days actually equal full days? So 7 days of vacation actually make a Reserve have 18 days off vs 11. I mean if those changes are made, if sick time acrues faster than a leaky faucet, and our 401k can actually see some hefty matching I think we come out ahead.

Also, by getting a pay rate we set ourselves up to be on the same playing field as the AA WO's to start a pay rate price war for the "best pay." I think this contract is better than we expect.
