There must be more to the story if they are voting this down.

Yes. Politics. They don't like the fact that Carey went out on his own to make the deal without any BOD input. The positives far outweigh any negatives.

If I were king for a day and on the BOD I would vote in the agreement and then immediately recall CAREY!!! That would be my course of action.

ALPA? Sometimes change can be good.

I don't get the push by the BOD to turn down things like profit sharing and this.

What's the point?

Profit sharing was fine, even if the union BOD couldn't negotiate in whatever bennies they wanted for themselves at the top.

LOS - This is great for those folks off property! I'd have thought it'd end up compromise (% equiv time when off property).

Avg day. Much fairer, some of those trips were BOGUS.

Folks demanding min day outside of contract ... uh? Even if available this BOD would never be able to negotiate for it - they were looking at turning down profit sharing...

The approach here at BOD level is too weird, what's in it for them?

The big problem is allowing current scheduling practices to remain. They really dont operate by any rules. This would allow them to basically have no rules going forward. I can’t imagine not having ANY language on scheduling practices.

I keep hearing that but what exactly aren’t they following?

I know that the handling of open time seems to change on what scheduling needs. I’ve spoken to scheduling 2-3 times this year. I don’t know what the issues entail. I’d hate to see this turned down unless it’s way out of hand. I would think the company has language on specifics rather than just “we’re going to do whatever we want.”
I think LOS is a big deal to us.

Yea i don’t deal with scheduling much either. These scheduling issues just don’t seem like that big of a deal when compared to us gaining ACD and LOS.

If this gets voted down I’m going to be extremely disappointed.

Ego.

The answer to everyone one of your questions is ego.
