Rates at all three legacies are always going to be the same (pattern bargaining)...I'm not trying to out-negotiate the other pilots groups.
And I never said anything about trading soft pay items....EDP, RR, SIT....they all stay.
But if we give the company room for interpretation....crew meals and when to reimburse....DH seats but they block all the C+....they will *always* pick the angle that benefits them to not pay us.
Huge boost in hours pay fixes that....nothing for company to "interpret".
Hell at $1000 Captain pay I'll gladly buy my own meals and buy my own leisure tickets....don't waste time trying to get company to get better ZED agreements.
