80%+ and 60%+ morons voted in the last two contracts, 2008 and 2013 respectively. Just by this, it's statistical that trips will be covered whether they are premium, VSA, OT, etc.
I'm no company man but I don't fault people for flying premium trips or picking up OT under normal ops-no one furloughed and/or not in contract negotiations. Majority rules and like it or not, we all agreed to play by these rules. We can't pick and choose the sections of the contract, otherwise we would be just as criminal as the company.
We all knew the greedy offenders during TPA/JCBA. Morally, they were in the wrong but contractually, they were not. I'm one to believe that had OT/premium trips not been covered during JCBA negotiations, we would have a better non-arbitrated JCBA today.
The greedy will never change their ways but who are you to cast the first stone? I find the self righteous types turn out to be the biggest hypocrites and we are all hypocrites. If you want unity, be kind to one another. As the saying goes, you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.
