The company already provides PS commutes when it's tight aka expensive. Our reserve rules are almost there, just need a few more hours and some help in the short call and field standby areas. You're right about double pay though. That's too much. I'd take 15% annual cost of living increases for the next five years, an accumulated downgrade that meets you more than half way. DONT NEGOTIATE IN PUBLIC. I'm not. Please don't. Save it for the union's survey.
How long has a union survey been coming? Genuine question.
