Don't get violated people with all this additional work. New contract, bad scheduling language, and more pay but man they are piling it on. It's getting to be a bit too much.
Btw, tons are on reserve and not flying but somehow you cannot manage to drop R and/or pick up trips. Most of my class is very frustrated. The devil is in the details.

I understand the intent behind the landing window, but it isn’t easily applied to real line flying. Must’ve been cooked up by some paper pusher at a desk. Not to mention, our D:0 and A:14 metrics are relatively strong. Plus, how’s it gonna actually work? Changing TAS enroute, sure, but what happens when center or approach slows you 200 miles from the airport for metering? What happens if you land on 10 instead of 9R in Atlanta, therefore adding taxi time? What happens when you hold short of a parallel runway for a while after landing?
Center/app: “Endeavor 3xxx, slow to 210 spacing.”
Endeavor 3xxx: “But...the landing window!”
“What?”
I just don’t see this working.
