To me, it's nothing more than a halfa$sed attempt at pacifying some of the pilots before the union drive. I know it will work on some of my coworkers, but I'm almost offended. OK, a uniform allowance is nice, but at the same time, they've created more substantial problems like with hot reserve and cancellation credit. Am I stupid? Is a $200 pittance supposed to make me happy while I'm getting jipped of regular pay? I don't know who came up with the idea of making these "improvements" while ripping off crewmembers on pay... their priorities are obviously out of order. If they expect me to think that they're serious about improving work rules or at the least, keeping ALPA at bay, they wouldn't be doing all that pay credit screwing.
