I'm not going to downplay how good XJT's CBA is,not in the least. Especially compared to what's out there at some other operators. Along with the fact that although we took an hourly concession that we're not getting back, our work rules didn't change.
But like I mentioned in the other thread, the previous employers CBA was way more lucrative on the W2.
2000 was an incomplete year, coupled with a newhire training, etc
2001 1390 credit hours, 754 in the logbook
2002 1360 credit, 684 in the book
2003 1168 cedit, 599 in the book
2004 1079 credit 524 in the book
2005 260 credit, ZERO flown, under that CBA.
Minimal, if any open time pickup for 2000-2002, NONE for 2003-2005. And I didn't even try that hard from a "working the contract" standpoint. Other guys I know were doing in the 1400-1600 hour range using the PFM of the CBA.
Sad how this career/profession has deteriorated, even at the "regional" level.
