The vast majority of 330/350/765 rotations contain no EDP or SIT. Yes, there are limited exceptions for broken trips, charters, and rare domestic rotations. Congrats on finding them. NB categories benefit from soft pay far more consistently, which is fine.
The AA commuter clause, while not perfect, is superior to 23.X. No backup required (even if commuting OAL), no 2 hour requirement, protections for in-base pilots. Copy and paste may not be the ideal approach, but there are absolutely elements of it to consider. LumberJack’s ideas have merit as well.
I will agree with you that direct input via surveys and rep feedback is the most effective method of communicating priorities. Thankfully you’re no longer involved on the other end of that process.
I wouldn’t call it a drive by, although I guess it is ego feeding to accuse as such when it is pointed out to you that your entire post is wrong. The reality is that there is not the time or the inclination in my life to visit or participate in the site very much. I browse through when I have time and respond when I wish. Pretty much respect everyone’s opinions and mostly just point out inconsistencies.
You’ve now backed off all of your input to make it more palatable. Not sure why you are thankful I’m not involved, as I think we have a pretty damn good product, but I’ll point out a couple of things:
1) you aren’t nearly as thankful as I am
2) all of the rest of the exact same people who brought you our current agreement are still heavily involved, so you may want to prepare for more disappointment
