Maybe I'm just, as you say "nieve" (in itself a demonstration of brilliance) or maybe, as you say, I'm just a member of a "weak d^ck, self-devaluated pilot group"
Voting YES folks. Anyone than can't piece together all the parts of this to see the total value, has done themselves a disservice. Do yourself a favor and factor in 3.5 rig, full pay DH, 5hr FDP minimum and apply it to your current schedule for next month. Calculate the pay at your current rate and with current work rules, then apply your DC. Then, do it with the new work rule changes, with your new rate, then apply your new DC. It's staggering.
Focusing on the rate alone is not the proper analysis. Don't micro-focus. Look at the big picture and you'll see the power of what's at your doorstep.
Vote YES.
