this fdx ta may have a harder time passing than i had first thought...one of the reasons we work 2.6 days more a month than before the last contract is because we gave away min pay per day provisions...we were assured that we would get these back...ie...work done equals work payed for...i cannot find anywhere in the proposed ta that does away with trip-rig washout...i just flew an around the world trip that should have payed 83 hours instead of the trip rig of 72 tafb...we flew only one leg under six hours...but trip rig washed all of our hard time out as it does in almost all of the cases now...we were told that this was going to be one of the cornerstones of this ta...no more trip rig wahout...but i believe we caved in on this requirement as i don't see any changes ..you still have to fly over ten hours straight to get any credit for your hard time...and that is not credit for over six hours...just over ten...we caved and if this is the real case,,,then we lost a tremendous work rule battle and i can't vote for this ta without a provision that prevents trip rig wahout...i talked to a couple of airbus guys about this and they said the same thing....it effects us all..i hope i am wrong...anyone see this?..smper fi, clutch
