Are you commuters aware of this last one? So if I'm a Miami commuter, and I happen to be in Tampa commuting on a FDX aircraft and the flight cancels or diverts, I get a letter! Or if I am commuting from my staging location and listed as "business" (like our System Chief Pilot told us to do at a hub turn meeting) and the flight does not make it, I get a letter!
This is some of the crap that needs to be addressed.........
Right on brother....
In addition:
New hire pay is just stupid. Is Panhandling 101 part of Basic Indoc now? (For the record, this is NOT an entry level flying job).
Section 25 needs more than a little work, and I think no automatic future raise or penalty for the company dragging their feet will be a problem. If this passes, I can't see any motivation for the company to ever come back to the table.
