If you like dehead only days, 33 hour domestic layovers, productivity sits, and roations spread out so there is 1 minute of credit time you can disregard all the above.
I don't like "dehead only days, 33 hour domestic layovers, productivity sits, and rotations spread out so there is 1 minute of credit time"... but I could learn to like them for $100k more in my W-2. What I would really like to see would be some work rule improvements to minimize those kinds of things along with a significant pay restoration and improvements to scope. But sorry, I can't go along with continuing to make bankruptcy/emergency pay just so I can eliminate some irritating and frustrating aspects of our work life. And if you think changing some work rules is going to result in any significant amount of bottom line restoration, well I'd like to know how you think it is going to do that (and what you are smoking).
