Sometimes we need to know both the devil and the details to find the devil in the details. Clearly, we didn't negotiate anything worthwhile and it appears we actually gave up something and got nothing in return. OOPS!

I used my 3 transfer days when I was a new hire. No problem. How often do YOU change domiciles that you need more than 3 days every 18 months? Because I assure you, out of the 12000+ pilots on property those affected by this issue are far fewer than say, satellite bases. Or even getting intercoms on guppies. You're not even the 1%. You're the .1%.
Nothing worthwhile for you? I don't even know what conflict bidding is. Or was. I see that dang "C75 TTL F+NF < MINIMUM - This error checks both pilot's calendars" message probably every time I try to trip trade.
My pay is not affected by this in any negative way. What is significant to you? Because I'm gonna go way out on a limb and guess its not significant to anything like 5% of the group.
Ha ha ha. just kidding. I don't really care. Its nice to get rid of that 50 hour nonsense. The other stuff doesn't affect me at all. But you guys are getting all frothy over a nothing sandwich. Take a breath.
