Does anyone understand that these work rules will be LOST permanently, for the rest of your NK tenure?
Are ALL you yes voters applying else where?
Thinking you are safe from reserve?
Think again when PBS reduces staffing requirements.
This brings to mind the a$$ hole who did not care about the commuter clause because he lived on base.
Poetic justice was served when they closed his base...
If you are going to vote only according to YOUR self interest, be ready for the consequences. Life has a funny way to get even.
It's called UNION for a reason.
If this is a majority view, management will ALWAYS win, like they have so far.
As someone else already posted, you misunderstood my post. I am well aware of the no reserve drops after PBS implementation, and I believe it is the biggest negative in the TA. I've stated it several times in previous posts. In fact, I live in base, often bid reserve on purpose, and drop a middle day of a block often, like I did this month.
Other than that and losing pay-protected transition, I don't see the huge qol losses others do. A lot of the rescheduling can be done now. I don't think it's going to happen very often as they then have to fill the trip you were on causing another problem, and they have to get you back within 4 hours after your original return. And you will be getting 200% at the much higher pay rates for a lot of the scenarios. It gets really expensive for the company to keep you out for more than a day, so basically it's a tool to keep the operation going after an IROP.
Reserve will not be what it is now, no doubt. There are a few mitigating factors. The "want to fly" list is an improvement, as is long call reserve.
Big picture, there are some
huge gains in this contract that a lot on here aren't focusing on. I'm in favor.
