So a few buddies and I got together several months ago with our ideal contract combing mostly industry standard ideas at different companies with some small tweaks in reference to pay rates, etc. It's hard to believe, but most everything in here is existing "standard" at legacies/majors - but not within one contract. I believe by picking the best of the standard items and inserting them into one would give us an industry leading contract.

At the very least, this is hopefully an avenue where one can cut/paste items (or the entire thing) into sound-offs and the C2020 email.

Use it as you like - but please send send-offs and ideas to the C2020 email site!

Clarification about those P2 reports, make sure that they cannot be used in any disciplinary action against the pilot (unless it's intentional etc.).

I really hope you are not wasting your time with your effort in putting together this list. I can easily see the reaction from a few APA leaders...

"Sorry, but it wasn't invented here.

Let's go Delta +5% and give up some more stuff. Who's ready to have another $3500 dinner?

Winning!"

Cheddar,

Thanks to you and your friends for putting something out there. That’s a great area to start from. And I definitely echo sending sound offs!

I like the above reserve rates....

Today As you look at the reserves this month. You will see a large group flying close to guarantee. And having sat reserve for 1-6 days.
That’s up to 6 days being on call for free.

Reserve needs to be looked at per calendar day.

Example:

Doug Parker asks us to be on call right now for 19 days a month. In exchange he will pay us 76 hours a month.
But what if we fly 8 hours in one day? We are basically flying 3:38min for free. Anything really over 4:22 is free flying

Is it acceptable to fly for free?

Cheddar

No, it’s not. Send in those soundoffs!
