That being said, some of the combinations are pretty interesting...get a GS/SS, then a reroute, a long duty day, a release past midnight and toss in a holiday, and....
Just to scratch an itch, I went back to look at the LOA 20-04 thread. Some micrometer using people were doing calculations about how the reduced TLV was going to cost reserve pilots $10k/year. But today you don't really hear anyone saying a bad thing about it.
This happens all the time and is understandable. People who think - “It’s no big deal” are not really motivated enough to post but the “doomsayers” are very motivated. I distinctly remember when we first started signing and leaving the release at the gate - you would think it was the end of the world. Not to mention my personal favorite, the “ horror” of SC being reduced to 9 hours - a very nice QOL gain that a few went into hypothetical gymnastics to explain how it was a screw job, but that never happened.
Sometimes the “Doomsayers” are correct but you really need to filter through the chaff. When the GS trigger was reduced some downplayed it as not being important because we in Covid and flying was reduced. It was and is huge.
Finally is this deal perfect - No, it has a few warts but when folks say “Point out any QOL” gains you know they are trolling because even the No voting Reps have conceded plenty of QOL gains.
Stop feeding the Trolls. You can tell when folks have legitimate concerns and are genuinely contributing, but you can also tell the opposite.
