My response to your post was complete sarcasm. I agree with you 100%. When the merger was announced I was hoping we would get the NWA guarantee of 75 hours and 1.5X pay above 80. That system is much better than the stupid GS deal we have now. I don't see how anyone can argue that our current GS system is superior. It may pay more total dollars out, but it goes to senior guys in base who are willing to put themselves on reserve to get the GS trips that come up.
