Now I don't get those extra minutes of pay since the iPad works so much better and faster. Clearly the company got us iPads in order to make us "more efficient" and all.
"Chess vs checkers" and all that.
That's the last I'll chime in. I think in six months we won't even remember that SC used to be 12 hours, and no one will be complaining.
This is a productivity and efficiency move. Reserves were essentially useless to them after 9 hours and now more of the 24 hour day is able to be useful on SC. 9hr SC, 10hrs rest, and then back to SC. That's a 3 hour gain in SC usability. I rarely do all 7 SCs in a month. I think that will now change. That would result in fewer reserves required.
Nobody thinks this is an intentional effort to attack QOL,. But, this is an intentional effort the find additional efficiency and productivity within the contract (as they always do.) However, any change which results in productivity means an equal reduction in (increased SCs and flying affecting the good deal reserve) QOL.
