While this thread might look like negotiating in public it has helped me determine the value of a contract section I’ve never used, but have unknowingly benefitted from. Sometimes having a discussion of the sections various pilots hold dear is very important.
Prior to learning more about PB days, I would have viewed them as fairly inconsequential. Now I see any alternation as a poison pill in the contract.
I’m glad to hear this!
In SLC reserve goes relatively senior which allows junior pilots a chance at a line.
Ditching PD hurts everyone.
