I deleted the history lesson. Firstly, im newer than you, but ive watched you all fumble with pay to get it more in line with what you want. Congrads, all us airline pilots have been there, it sucks. What i want are higher credits trips which will give us more days off (thats how it works). The company will respond with less 30hr overnights and less commutable trips. For junior bases, commutability turns out to be important for the company when it's a junior base and everyone bags out sick. Theyll say we will lose it, then miraculous, it comes back.

I commute, if i get 30 hrs i want it at home with my kids, not on the road. I dont mind coming in a day ahead of time, i pay for a crashpad.

Im one voice. If the pilot group doesnt want it, fine. But these trips credit value is laughable, it was just that in the past they were more laughable. The min day may seriously screw up the bargaining history and strategy delta alpa has sought, but it says a lot a real min day is already on the ask list so i doubt it.

Soft pay is also hard to take away during the next bankruptcy.
