International override will certainly add up, and night override will help, and me personally I thought Emergency/extension past the OFP would have been history at this place. Who has that? Its still here and its 200%. More than 2 hours and its 5 hours at 200%. I don't sell PTO regularly, so that does not affect me. The scope language is strong, but that is a different section and different thread...
My number one concern in the surveys was scope and QOL. It was not pay rates. The C-series rates seem low to me but have any of your seen that plane? I haven't. By the time management actually gets off their A$$ and makes a decision, it will be years into this contract before they even come close to replacing 320s. By then, we will be in section 6 again. Where I feel this TA missed the mark is insurance. I am scratching my head at the small gains with insurance. I am glad I have a few weeks to decide yes or no. I am sure I could add some more work rules if I go back and read this TA again.
Also in there are some horrible things. Airport standby with no auto release? Check. Good luck getting ahold of crew services during an IROP...
