I laughed out loud the first time I heard/read about the old transition conflict rules when I was job searching prior to coming to Spirit. Seemed funny as heck that something like that could sneak into a contract. Trading it away for an updated payscale was inevitable, so nobody "ruined transition". It was doomed the day the company realized what they'd signed.
I was merely making the point that it’s disingenuous calling the guys who work the reserve system to their advantage “turds”, yet not having the same dismay for the guys that work transition conflicts.
Either both transition and reserve drops are gone (if this TA passes) as both were taken advantage of at a big expense to the company or both are going away to put us in line with the industry standard (if the NC is to be believed).
But people like Tool can’t just slam the peeps that made strategic reserve drops without mentioning people who made strategic transition conflicts or peeps that prob called in sick one too many times on account of a sick parent, etc.
