This relates to our ORD base specifically. Unsure if the others were gaining traction flying hour wise. Folks on the line were hopeful for a raise, but it was obvious just to be more efficient and condense the lines a bit and you get more $ and they get more productivity. You earn it while company benefits without having offered higher pay rates. This was the first step well ahead of any pay increase. Many have complained that they could earn quite a bit more with the numerous gaps we've had and so it shall be it seems. Luckily there are just a few low lines/more days off available at this time although I still don't sit around as much in a leisurely state or go on walkabouts as I did before December.
