Don't know it yet. Disability? I see the rumor, don't know the details but shows promise to be industry leading. That leaves work rules... according to SWAPA podcast, the legacies soft money and LCO type stuff there was actually SWAPA SRC product that they incorporated. Go figure.... but how will our company use it? Reserve rules? I'll be on reserve for quite a while.... the changes better knock my socks off.
So what does "industry-leading" mean?
A contract that makes Delta pilots say "damn, I wish we had that".
