Oh heck yes. Retro for them.
And I'm definitely also holding out for the ability to charge the company for my time spent (at my seat position and longevity) for having to deal with rejected health insurance claims ... among a boatload of other pay, work rule, hotel, retirement, ancillary, and other items.
Minimum 55% DOS pay rate raise to bring us up to inflation-adjusted parity with UAL year 2000 large 737 rates plus additional raise to reflect the fact that a 55% raise would mean that, in real terms, we hadn't received any raise at all in greater than 20 years.
Paid tail swaps, double for unplanned tail swaps.
Premium for the rest of the trip following a short overnight (<14 hours). Premium for a long (>10 hrs) duty day for the entire day.
No more JA's. JA's filled by reverse Dutch auction system where the pay is raised on each round of bidding for a trip until a taker is found or the trip cancels. Bidding starts at 2x fully rigged rate for trip (ie, one one-hour leg pays 13)
Minimum 25% NEC.
Retiree medical coverage.
Separate hotels from FA's. SWAPA in charge of Pillot CAB, which we'll now call "PAB.". Duty time starts early if van has to leave hotel unreasonably early. Can't stay at less than a 4-star property. Must have healthy food (not fast food, not gas station, not Chili's or Applebees or similar) within a 10-minute Google Maps walk of property. Must have full-size gym access at hotel or within 10-minute Google Maps walk of hotel with no charge for one-day pass to work out for the day. Typical hotel gym doesn't qualify as full-size gym. Must be in a low crime area. Hotel must have been built in last 10 years or newly renovated in last 10 years.
DHR ratio increased to >= .91.
Claw back of sick time accrual for premium trips at premium rates.
Premium for entire day when over four legs in a duty day.
Ability for captains to avoidance bid FO's.
If I discover a pay error, I receive double the amount of the error.
