Why would I not want trips ending in redeyes versus 3 day slash trips ending in redeyes worth 10-12 hours what we currently have?

Yup, I’m ready for rigs like the rest of the big boys.

Try again.
5:15 but your argument is spot on.

That would be a horribly stupid move.

Delta guy here...are these short extensions Parker’s way of stringing you along so he doesn’t have to pay up big time and also avoid the bad press?

I don't buy it... seems like people are just wanting to stir $hit up. Parker would have to pony up a TON in order to get this pushed through. I'm talking like Delta profit sharing, raises all across the board and some rig fixes.

There's just too many bad language and work rules that are totally screwed on the joint contract. We had many good items that were just given away. I sit long call reserve and the ability for scheduling to convert us to short call up to 5 times per month is just utter bull$hit! Too many items like that make this hard for me to believe.

Quit making up stupid stuff

ACD imposes a hard limit of 16 days, and 15 most months.

That is simple grade school math.

There will be some trips with redeyes... As there already are, always has been and always will be.

It won't be "all of them" - or even most of them.

Contract extension very bad idea, there is too much serious fixing that needs done, imo.

If they can negotiate a complete rewrite of Section 15 and acceptable improvements to LTD, PS, and Pay before year end, then they can just as well fix it all.

Everyone sees it but the majority here.

IN exchange for a min avg calendar day-which will likely never be implemented-or if it is will result in min days off for everyone.
What was given up?

Some will say un implemented contract items.

Some will say some of those items weren’t good for us.

Don’t know what’s true and what’s not true in terms of the above.

Regardless Some that think that ACD isn’t good are just downright fools.

Reference every other big boy airline.
