If it’s something that’s already agreed to and signed it’s not part of negotiations. If it’s just an ask during negotiations that he’s referencing then it’s not exactly negotiating in public. I know how his union works…I was a member for 7 years.

Commuter Policy MOU, it's on the Union website.

so now you commmute on your first work day as you should?

If that’s the case just need to increase pay like 30% or so and fix the upgrade time issue

Read the MOU. Good stuff in there.

Good to hear. I’m glad you guys are getting better work rules. I left several years ago after 7 years there and a 767CA at about 30% overall seniority. I don’t have access to any of the union or company data anymore.

I left as a result of the last contract that was crammed down our throats by the arbitrator. The pay was bad enough…the work rules sucked…but the 2% DC was the final kick in the teeth I needed to bail. I hear you guys are up around 12-14% DC now. I’m happy for you. There’s still a lot to fix there…but I guess that can be said with any airline contract.

The commuter policy is industry leading. Not just ACMI, I'd take it over any other airline commuter policy there is.

16% DC started this January.

Lot needs to be done. But the trend vector generally points in the right direction.

Being able to report up to 3 hours from first report will be a game changer for a lot of folks.

Doesn't equate to other ACMI home base policies, be we also don't owe 17 days a month. We are owed at least 13 off. Huge difference, unless folks are just used to bidding 17 day lines.

I can't complain too much about our schedules or commute. Some things still need work, and that was in my survey. I am on a primary line, Day 2 of a 6 day pattern that started off with 3 DHs to an airport not too far down the road from my from my front door... and I am standing in my kitchen making pancakes for my kids. Tough way to earn a paycheck.

Industry as in ACMI?

All the home based charter folks have commuted on days on since forever

It’s good they are heading in a more acceptable direction however

No, industry as in industry when talking about based airlines. I'll take this over any legacy policy. Home basing is comparing apples to oranges. For commuting, this is the gold standard.

ahh so for 121 fair enough

Lots of 135s with commute on day on and also better pay than Atlas.

But if you just want to be 121 and home based, never mind the income or days off, I agree atlas is the best
