Our main concern is that the B6 side wont comprehend the value of it not having seen it in action first hand before it gets bargained away. It was the first item that the company wanted to try to negotiate away during our TA talks...
The B6 side can’t comprehend DTZ because at B6 the bottom half of the list can’t even get awarded a vacation week between May and September… let alone drop three weeks and “go on vacation” any time you want.
I want this DTZ big time. I would love to abuse the crap out of it.
But I don’t want DTZ if it means the top five guys in each base drop to zero (rather than getting stopped at 70) and they turn the grids RED for every other pilot on property.
