Hey guys first off congrats from another F9 guy. I'll be honest as I've only seen bits and pieces of your TA and don't know a lot about your last contract but from what I've understood, you used to have pay protection on transition conflicts with your line bidding. Now with PBS obviously that will go away.

I'd assume you could probably somewhat easily be able to get 10 hrs of protected pay per month averaged out over the year through these monthly transition conflicts.

At the old pay rate 85*185 = 15725
At the new rate 75*235 = 17625
Adjusted effective old rate = $209/hr

I know there were improvements in DC and such, but were there protections created in other areas to offset this loss? Again forgive my ignorance, I'm asking these questions to reduce said ignorance. And congrats, hopefully for all our sake we at F9 can raise the bar a little higher.
