[quote=Superpilot92;762980][quote=sailingfun;762976]To be honest I don't think we need to put much emphasis on reroute after the current LOA sent RR pay back to double pay from time and half. As I mentioned a airline has to have some ability to reroute or it will not function. I can't remember the last time I got a reroute that was a truly bad deal. They have almost always worked in my favor under the current rules. That is why I objected to the posting that Delta's RR rules suck. Read the RR section of the contract. Its a solid section that escaped the 1113 process mostly intact.
[b]When contract time comes I want the emphasis in area's that truly need help. Pay, Retirement, Reserve, Recovery flying ect[b]...
I guess SCOPE would fall under the "etc" part
How about SCOPE, PAY, SCOPE, RETIREMENT, SCOPE, RESERVE, SCOPE, RECOVERY FLYING, SCOPE, ETC.....scope!
REMEMBER YOU CAN HAVE THE HIGHEST PAY RATES IN THE INDUSTRY BUT IF YOU DONT HAVE SCOPE AND YOUR FLYING CAN BE OUTSOURCED THEN THE REST OF THE CONTRACT IS POINTLESS!!! JUST ASK THE MIDWEST GUYS
Scope should be at the front of the list however I will tell you upfront that I don't believe we can operate the CR series at a cost structure that is sustainable. I believe we can operate the E-170/175 at the mainline and was hugely against that change when Tom Malone and his MEC allowed it to happen. The scope focus should be on bringing that flying back over time to the mainline. Trying to scope smaller aircraft would just kill your ability to feed the system by forcing us out of most markets that can only sustain a smaller aircraft.
