Puh-leeze.

Just because the company finds a change beneficial to them doesn't automatically make it detrimental to us. Sometimes you just accept the small improvements and continue on.

Next thing you know the company will force front end DHs, since everything the company does is bad for us I am waiting to hear how we are getting screwed here.

We definitely get boned at times but that does not mean that every single move the company makes is bad for us.

We should skeptically evaluate all company moves and I think 9 hour SC is good. Nothing I have read has led me to believe anything else.

The ipad has made me more efficient and productive. I want the Surface back!

Exactly. Why, when I had the Surface, it might take me several minutes to complete a search in the content locker, which now takes me all of about two seconds. Add all those Surface searches up over the long term, and that is several minutes of extra pay that I had coming to me while I was delayed. Now I don't get those extra minutes of pay since the iPad works so much better and faster. Clearly the company got us iPads in order to make us "more efficient" and all.

"Chess vs checkers" and all that.

That's the last I'll chime in. I think in six months we won't even remember that SC used to be 12 hours, and no one will be complaining.

Why do you speak these falsehoods? You know that anything that might help the company is automatically bad for us.

Thanks a lot 82%...

IDK man, there is a guy over on FB (with an affinity of blocking those who disagree with him) that still goes on and on about how much better of a machine the surface is compared to the iPad.

This is a productivity and efficiency move. Reserves were essentially useless to them after 9 hours and now more of the 24 hour day is able to be useful on SC. 9hr SC, 10hrs rest, and then back to SC. That's a 3 hour gain in SC usability. I rarely do all 7 SCs in a month. I think that will now change. That would result in fewer reserves required.

Nobody thinks this is an intentional effort to attack QOL,. But, this is an intentional effort the find additional efficiency and productivity within the contract (as they always do.) However, any change which results in productivity means an equal reduction in (increased SCs and flying affecting the good deal reserve) QOL.

Notenuf wins lottery for 60 million dollars next week. Interviewed by reporter he states. This just sucks man, last week they paid out 1.6 billion and I am stuck with a measly 60 million. The whole lottery is rigged! It’s not enough!

You are comparing my "lottery win" to a productivity improvement Delta has made? Um, OK. BTW, the lottery is a money pit and I don't play it. I do play games of skill and chance like "schedule efficiency v QOL" each month. And I win.

If you really don't see my point, then its not worth further explanation. I think you do though.

I think the point was you never have a good thing to say.
