Cite the specific reasons. What did we give up? Be super specific because it’s better than we had. Granted maybe they gave up too much, which is why you need to be very specific on the details but.....

Call me an idiot.

Gotta agree... cautiously optimistic. I’m hoping the CLT blast changed the underlying “gives”. I’d like to see fine print but just dismissing it outright seems a bit foolish. Apparently no rush to pass. The BOD has time to actually read and debate the details since MCD is 9 months away and LOS is retro to last summer.

I don’t think this is one of those bills we need to “pass to see what’s in it”

Not real happy about the 9 month free pass to the company. If they really wanted to implement this it could have been done by doing pay/no credit until the training and IT issues were resolved.

I understand that this may cause a staffing shortage of about 150 pilots needed to fly the extra hours imposed by the new rig. By keeping the present hours and paying us the difference via PNC the company could stay on the timetable announced for full,implementation yet compensate us for the woeful contract we are under. I understand why were are here, I’d just like to see us move past as quickly as possible.

I have my doubts about that. I say it’s more likely a one for one no additional bodies needed. Think about all the trips that they won’t need reserves for anymore... this makes it worth leaving the house.

Time will tell

I doubt this will require more bodies after the optimizer gets done. They probably need the time to qualify East Coast bases for Hawaii.

And run the displacements out of LAX/PHX to the bases where the Hawaii flying is going to wind up...

CLT-LAX-HNL-LAX-CLT or PHL-PHX-HNL-PHX-PHL...mighty efficient.

Or cue the folks that take this as having to use less negotiating capital to get it in the next contract thus freeing up capital to work on further improvements to things we now have, those idiots? Hmmm, profit sharing, 8% bump and avg day credit in the last year, I’d say we’ve done better than expected. Given that APA agreed to this huge pile of sh!t with a cost neutral arbitration as a back stop, we’ve done pretty well.

We're going to have to use negotiating capital to fix this because AVG calendar day and a concession for electronic notification isn't what we want.
