The current system can get you low if you want it or high if you want. The new system... mid is the best you can do and low is still there if you want max days off like the current system.
The company is 3 steps ahead of the union.
The biggest problem IMHO is the tiers not the idea.
Maybe some mathy type can figure out the amount of hours available per month divided by the amount of people that will be able to bid and hold more than 85 hrs. I'm going to guess the percentage is not that high.
That is why we need trip and duty rigs. This could actually work more in our favor if we had decent trip and duty rigs. More and achievable tiers also.
As it stands now... as you said it seems the company is three steps ahead of the Union. I wish it wasn't so US vs THEM... of course we will always differ on what is and what should be but as you also said - we were already solidly mid tier on pay and with everyone else making gains and us arguably going backwards we are solidly trending to the bottom...
