Man, I can't believe how fired up this still gets me, and I didn't even bid one.
One thing no one else has mentioned:
A BIG FAT HOURLY PAY RAISE.
We tried to game the system on work rules in the last contract and we got flat out gamed. Let's chase some dollars (per diem + hourly).

I hope everyone is putting these in BIG, BOLD type and forwarding them to their Reps and the NC.
How about:
1. Fixing the mess where you bid training in a block of trips and the entire block disappears. You can only touch the first or last day??? What's up with that??
2. BRING BACK PAPER BIDPACKS
3. Pay for CBT that actually reflects the time it takes to complete it.
