Issues important to me for C2025 (sarcasm):
1.
Scope. RJ scope, JV scope. Not forgiving any open scope violations/grievances in the process. This needs to be iron clad.
2. Quality of life
-5:15/day for training and vacation
-RSV SC goes on top of guarantee
-do not touch profit sharing.
-deadhead language improvements.
-continuation of PS commuting is a pipe dream, but worthwhile to ask for.
3. Pay
-do not touch profit sharing.
-18%+ DC
-5:15 min day for all training including transportation to/from on travel day.
-5:15 pay and credit for vacation.
-adding language whereas day ONE beyond the amendable date of the PWA the pilots will receive 5% increase in pay for seat/equipment/longevity annually until a new PWA is agreed upon. This fixes issues with signing bonus and helps bring both parties together and avoids 2019 delayed negotiations repeating themselves.
Just my wish list. We might get one item on that though

Emphasis mine.
We also need to get the FAs, dispatchers, etc on board with protecting scope - it protects all our jobs in the end.
Pretty much agree with the rest of what you said here.
I'd like to see the MBCP stuff as well. Any news on that front?
