But the implementation timeline states that a lot of what we’re voting for will only be available for 1/2 or 2/3 of the life of contract. And there’s hidden dollar signs all over the contract buried in those work rules
Examples:
25.K.1- RSV SCL Days Off: increasing from 12 and 13 to 13 and 14. Implementation date of 1/1/19 (6 Months)
4:12 X 6 months X $117 (new 2nd year FO Pay)=$2,948 (over $7k for RSV captain) Or 25:12 worth of PTO in days off...
25.R.5.b- Reserve first day start time. Implementation of 11/1/19 (4 Months)
So it’s 0300L Reserve starts until November. Commuter and can’t hold PM reserve? That just cost a reserve captain another $10-12k worth in days off each week commuting into base the day before.
Right there. Only 2 work rules. $20k left on the table for a 7yr captain due to implementation delays. Granted, maybe you can’t put a monetary value on “time off.” But time not spent at work is more valuable than time spent at work in my book.
