This is one of the MANY important things we must lock down in the CBA!! No way we should go backwards on UAs rest rules/facilities. Heck, we won't even allow a 757 first class seat to be used for rest!

Re. the crossfleeting, maybe this is a bit of an opporunity to highlight how much their delay is going to cost them. CAL crews flying out of UA bases and vice versa has to cost SOMETHING. The reliability for the flights will drop since they won't have the reserve crews or spare airframes available. That should show up as more than a minor 'blip' on their expense sheets.....

As for the apparent widebody 'sucking sound' in EWR.... As a DCA guy, replacing a missing 767 flight with a 757 ain't gonna cut it. The block hours will drop and (I'm assuming the 757 pay will split from the 767...) my base pay will drop. I expect some kind of protection from the adverse effects of that kind of movement! I will accept the SLI results without complaint, I want as few fences as possible, and I want mixed crews to fly as soon as reasonable. BUT I expect that my current status quo won't change too much! That means I should be able to fly the type of trips and schedules I currently fly, I don't have to commute to do that, and my pay will stay in the same relative position on the payscale!

Thanks for tolerating my rant
