Section 1: Scope/Parent letter
-Pinnacle can be bought, no protections.
-Pinnacle Inc can be sold, no protections.

Section 2: Definitions
-Still many "terms" that are what we like to call "whitizms" and can be "re-interpreted"

Section 3: Compensation
-Rates based on other carriers, based on an average on DOS. *proposed DOS of 10/1 keeps the COLA increases of the "heavy hitters" out of their rate increases that happen later in Oct, Nov, Dec.
-Minimum of 1% raise, MAX of 3%
-NO factoring of inflation
-Last "re-averaging" on the amendable date, then frozen
-TV or better, not scheduled block- the "pad" of time for performance still exists at no cost to the company and no gain to the pilots
-NOT in the company profit sharing program for "industry leading" performance

Section 4: Min pay guarantees
-No trip rigs
-No min day
-Still based on ONLY 11 days off for lineholders, 10 days off for reserves

Section 5: Expenses and lodging
-Still below peers (I guess costs of Ramen on a trip haven't gone up)
-No international perdiem (that's nice seeing as we are about to get into an inflationary era with the value of a dollar being in the bucket)

Section 6: Moving Expenses
-Base "hoppers" only get to play the game once a year
-"may be required" to show proof of a change in residence.

Section 7: Vacations
-NO more vacation slide (pre-assigned in pref-bid) and now based on 7 days at 2.7 hours for all days. Gain is a couple mins of pay, but below what most lineholders would credit for the week of actual work
-Vacation "shifts" and "slides" must be done BEFORE the bid cycle.

Section 8: Deadheading
-75% pay of leg value (Trip value on company operated flights) or SCHEDULED block (if a 2 hour blocked flight takes 3 hours due to wx, tuff luck)

Section 9: Misc Flying
-Chief pilot can make you do a "carpet dance" and may be disciplined if you refuse a check flight and he feels he could have flown it from the desk

Section 10: Transfer to Non-flying or supervisory duty
-not much here

Section 11: Training and testing
- May be fired before the PTRB reviews the case
-Pre-assigned in PBS and you will bid for your dates, yet this has not been programmed yet, so SOL for a while.

Section 12: Hours of Service
- 8.5 hours for rest
-may be reduced in base down to 9 for any reason (currently 10 hours)
- Only SCHEDULED to have 6 hour break (currently REQUIRED 5, now its "we tried")

Section 13: Leaves of Absence
- actually improved, no "cons" that I see

Section 14: Sick leave
- You can sell back up to 9 hours from YOUR sick bank a year if you are "super pilot" and don't get sick

Section 15: Physical standards, exams, testing
- Company "can" require doctors note at any time, for any sick call

Section 16- 24:
- Not much was changed

Section 25: Scheduling/PBS LOA
- 10 days off for reserves
- Can be put back on reserve after completed assignment (currently 10 hours off in base)
- Long call reserve requires high staffing levels, not a requirement to use
- Being bought off for OE is still like being on reserve each day
- May use credit (read block) up to 97 hours in a month for up to 4 months
- Call in honest- still no relief from commute issues with NO priority under Delta

Section 26: General
- Pass travel, what pass travel
- Required to reposition planes (currently an option)
- Attendance policy (still a sick policy, if you are sick too often you get to dance a jig)

Section 27: Insurance
- Premiums rise to very close to the "industry average"
- Co-pays double
- RX co-pays double
- NO wellness care (want a baby, that'll cost ya)
- Deductibles rise to $1700/3400 from $1150/2300

Section 28: Retirement
- Match FAR below the "average"
- Pilots are now paying admin costs for 401k ($35ish/yr)

Section 29-30
-Not much changed

Section 31: Duration
- 5 years


The "pro" list was posted by HIREME, these are solely "cons". So look at both, there are a few good things in multiple sections- but the way "I" see it, more negatives and/or "lacking" things than positives.

Hi management!- it's all truth, the golf game invite is still open if you wanna talk on a neutral level. I'll pay for the golf, you pay at the 19th hole.
