NK premium language and no drop fence is up there with the best but not nk grid language imo. Which you mentioned was the best no questions asked. You just mixed 3 separate provisions that work together but are separate negotiated provisions.
IMO staffing and res usage is a different spelling for reserve grid. And yes, it is the combination of those 3 provisions that makes NK language better than most if not all. Drop to zero is allowed at WN, but the grid has been red for the last 20 years, so nobody has been able to drop a single multi day trip in decades. Previous contract allowed reserves to checkerboard, that was even better. At NK the company has to maintain the same amount of reserves every day for the month, no extra reserves required for the weekend allowed. And it has to be set high enough that 75% of the days are green, based on historic numbers. Leads to higher staffing and more premium at the same time. How is F9 superior, honest Q?
