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.
