(2 duty periods, just under 10 block) I'm sure they will show up again and you will see a lot of 22-23 hour layovers where you go to the hotel at 7 am and have to try to grab 2 nights sleep in 23 hours.
Why in the world they caved on that I will never know. That in itself will be a huge QOL hit, not only because of the bad sleep schedule, but because it'll take you 6 calendar days to net 20 hours of pay. I hope you have a crash pad. You will see it a lot.
Ouch, that might just make LAS a VERY junior base. I wouldn't blame you for voting "no".

Vote what's best for you.

Do you think holding out, replacing the NC, extending negotiations for a year (the last recall of the NC (2008) added 2 years, I think??) could change what might or might not happen?
