- Reassignment and Overtime Pay
- Elimination of mandatory FSB
- Implementation of all forms of reserve lines (VEC, Long-Call Only, SC line, Compressed, et. al.)
- SC Matrix/SC Cap
- Rolled Day Off protections
- Reserve MPG/Days-Off
- Holiday Pay
- Unused short calls, late-build short calls
- FDO Restrictions
- PBS Timeline and G-line
- Trip construction and rigs
- Assignment ladder
- Reserve to Lineholder
- Ability to preference minimum time between vacation awards.
The implementation schedule projects completion by August 2024.
Thank you for a thoughtful and thorough reply. I remember this was a hot topic during contract negotiations. With the amount of provisions in 9-K, it seemed okay enough to pass. But since the company isn’t using 9-K, I wonder how the overall outlook on this by everyone is now?
