I'm guessing that while you won't admit it here, when push came to shove you'd vote Yes to a JCBA that was missing industry leading things in several areas, as long as you don't have to work ONE hour per month.
And don't give me the "drop everything and startover rebuilding" crap. With a DT-1 you could drop every trip but one, rebuild, and then drop that ONE last trip and rebuild that. Same for dropping all your trips in base A and rebuilding in base B. Same with taking an entire month off for vacation. Drop every trip but one, and PTO the last.
Such a silly purity test.
You see, they don’t understand how PTO (Personal time off) works. Likely because we’re the only pilot group that has that. It’s not a “Sick bank” or “Vacation time” it’s personal time and I can use it when ever I want subject to the grid. I also can drop without pay to 70 and save my personal time for another personal time. They can call in sick, Drop without pay or work. The system works the grids are the broken piece.
