Should read: if rescheduled, you are pay protected for original trip, PLUS new legs are 200% over guarantee. reserve drops should still be from at least one block...outside in. with this TA it has it until PBS, then no reserve drops at all.
I can tell that you haven’t read the TA and/or don’t comprehend what you’ve read.
1: They cannot notify you via ACARS. The notification procedure is still the same as in our current contract. Positive telephone contact. In the TA Q&A, it does say that we are “required to contact Scheduling if requested to do so by station personnel”.
2: 25.I.2.c says they pay you 2 hours of pay automatically if they require you to stay at the airport after you block in (in order to be rescheduled) at your overnight destination. This is whether they reschedule you or not. If they do reschedule you, then the 1 for 2 equation kicks in.
It seems to me that so many of the “NO” voters were quick to scan the contract, talk to their angry buddies, spread false rumors, and then proceed to spend their time spreading the false rumors on WhatsApp and APC. I personally just got through disecting all parts of the contract, made a list of pros and cons, doing my due dilligence and going to a road show, and talking with pilots that I respect before jumping to either side of the fence. I’ll be honest, all the vocal idiots that have serious “tin foil hat complexes” are actually doing the opposite for those of us who are trying really hard to make the best, and most educated, decision we can.
