Basically the top of the list is very senior and like our current bid system cause they get 2-3 primary vacations a year which bid properly can get them 3 week off each vacation. This isn’t including secondary vacations. So under the current system they can get a lot of time off and hardly work.
These are also the same people that refuse to pay more for health insurance while getting a higher hourly rate. I would rather get a $10 an hour raise and have an option to pay $750 more a month for insurance. Doing this would give those that want the insurance the same take home pay they have now but would give those that don’t want the insurance benefit for not taking it. Not everyone is old and needs the insurance the company provides. Some people just want more money. But who knows what’s in the TA, maybe it will be a shocker and industry leading. 😂
