But, I'm sure the management boys will say they are busy finishing up the merger..........sigh

PS

What do we want from our old contract?

Call in honest
Time and a half over 80 hours
minimum day vs average day
an honest rework of sick leave. I like some aspects of the Delta system but I'm not sure about this rolling system we have now that I'm getting older. I had one stretch of 5 years perfect attendance once, don't think I'll ever make that again
There was no call in honest policy in the NWA contract. The only contractual call in honest policy was in the Delta contract.
The time in a half over 80 hours produces far less overall cash for the pilot group then the double pay for greenslips so the MEC opted to go that route.
