OH, I disagree. This is a good change. "Quick Slip" = 4x pay. Permanent QHCP. And temporary elimination of the verification hours. Giddy up. It will take a 2 consecutive bid period "Compliance Window" with less than 10 Dart's about MiCrew failing to process sick correctly. IOW, at LEAST 2 bid periods after everything is fixed, there will be no verification window. We had to have them over a barrel for the company to agree to that.
Unless I'm missing something glaring, this is a solid agreement. It also incorporates serveral items suggested here by various users, like a 'new step of coverage' to honor seniority, while eliminating the 23M7 hoovers.
The only people who are going to be upset about this are top-page pilots who have been riding the 'free money' 23M7 gravy train, and are upset it is now coming to an end.
