I can almost guarantee DTZ will not survive the JCBA process. I wrote this in another thread. It will be sacrificed on the altar for improvements in JB's current system. DTZ is a great QOL tool that I realize most NK pilots love. The problem is it's a non standard benefit in the industry. When we were negotiating our first CBA, we lost a lot of benefits, like PTO sellback which was an amazing benefit for the pilot group. The reason we were given by our NC as to why it didn't survive: It was non standard operation in the industry and it would be almost impossible to argue with a mediator/arbiter and win that benefit. I guess I'm saying that I don't have to not have lived DTZ to understand how important it is to NK pilots or how much it benefitted that group. I'm just saying that the chances of it surviving in our JCBA is near zero. The quicker that realization occurs, the more we can focus as a combined group on the areas we CAN make improvements in, in both QOL and compensation.
