Future Contract Issues
Ok, the LOA battle is in full swing so no better time to start thinking about our future contract inputs. Here is mine so far:
1. B777 pay equal to A380 pay...gonna need an LOA within a year or so.
2. Scheduling, blunt the effects of the optimizer....thru any means available.
3. Scheduling, be able to trade R-Days for trips.
4. Publish VTO lines 3-4 days earlier in the bid month.
Anyone else?

Veba
I think VEBA will need to be expanded or deleted.
The contract age cut-off eliminated quite a few pilots on the Seniority List. I really would hate to use "negotiating capital" on this issue, but it will need to include the other pilots who were not 53 on the day of signng the contract (and those already retired within a certain window).

Yea, I know, but BC says it is in writing. He collected all of the company's press releases since the announcement of the B777 and they supposedly say that B777=A380!

Eliminate the early retirement penalty.
In an effort to "mitigate the damage", we should negotiate a full retirement after 25 years. Hopefully, I'll make it to 57 years old here with 25 years of service. I'd like to retire with no penalty. That would be fair and mitigate some of the damage for me.

A-Fund.
Higher pay rates for F/Os (captains, too!) to mitigate Age 60.
I'd say scope, (sarcasm alert) but it was such a cornerstone of the last negotiations that we had to write a new LOA to protect it.
