No pay rise for captains, ever. Not even a CPI link. FO's get a one time 2% increase in 2010 with no CPI. Reserve min days off is increased to 11. PBS introduced with no pilot control over parameters. Electronic check in 24 to 2 hours prior to show time.

The argument that ALPA made is that block or better and line guarantee is effectively a 20% pay raise. Well block or better wouldn't have helped me yesterday as I was sitting in an airport with a scheduled 19:30 departure but a wheels up time of 02:30. For those 7 hours I made approximately $10 of per diem . Obviously this won't change in the new contract.
