Maybe I read it wrong but I thought reserve overall improved. To me it looked like it blocked the swap your reserve prior from what you bid except with a 11 hour notice it can be moved up 2 hours or back 4 from your original award. Auto release for pilot after 8 hours last day(you have to call to notify you are exercising) The only part not good is the call if you still have duty time after an assignment which not sure that even complies with 117. It would also be rare to have time left.

It appears to allow the company to count your vacation or part of your vacation as days off. For instance if you have 2 weeks of vacation in July then you would be available for 15 days of work in July. The company only needs to give you 5-6 days off....

I haven't finished reading the whole TA, but for the first half that I've read, nearly every single thing besides pay rates is below industry standard. And we're one of the most profitable airlines in the entire world. Not good, not good.
It doesn't even state that we receive guaranteed profit sharing. We only get it IF the company decides to give it to the other employees. And what's to stop the company from reducing the schedules below 81 hours, thus negating the 130% override? They could easily hire more pilots, reduce the hours on each of our schedules which gets rid of Mission Mode. Then kiss our 130% and 200% overrides goodbye. I'm not seeing anything in this TA that prevents the company manipulating the schedules. Who wrote this thing?

That was a loophole I was afraid of. Long as they don't furlough any of us they can code share to their hearts content.

You didn't read it wrong, not sure where someone thinks it could be drastically improved, other than the potential number of reserve lines. Talked to a UPS guy today and he is ridiculously happy with his health coverage, so that is a huge improvement. Actually getting paid for sitting around waiting on stuff to be fixed, etc...actually getting paid for DH regardless of meeting the 70 hr min. The scope and job protection. The true unknown is the PBS system...while it would be great to see actual line bidding, senior guys not having to deal with reserve on their schedule is a nice plus, which will increase their days off, which would pretty much remove much of the possibility of merely having single days off. Home study pay...lots of little nuggets in there to increase credit hours.
