I didn't know ALPA national was working towards a common goal? I thought they were trying to serve two plus masters at the same time, hence the mass confusion.

What's the deal with the 30 hour layovers anyways? Not complaining, I sleep in, I'm on reserve I never break gaerontee (cajun talk) but man they're all over the place.

Work rules are considerably worse, our frozen pension leaves alot of guys expecting less than if the PBGC took over our plan. I don't know what you were inplying, but former North pilots are not in awe with the "new contract" pay rates and rules.
So $50 x 80 hours a month (assuming line holder), you're making roughly $50,000 less a year than before? Or at you making $50 less per hour over 80? or 85, whatever the 1.5x trigger was?
