From what they said at the meeting, company is trying to mess with our Open Time again.
Don't remember the details but it has to do with how they want to break up the trips and how to assign them, would be a huge concession and would basically get rid of a lot of green slips going out, DALPA of course didn't agree to any of it.
QOL issues are at the forefront for this contract.

They actually gave a great example of this, they are trying to fix this.
What's the point of seniority if you don't fly what you bid? Beyond ridiculous.
It's really sad how far behind other pilot groups we are, had an ex-southwest guy at the meeting and was explaining their re-route pay .. they almost want to get re-routed ... sometimes pays premium for the whole 3-4 day trip.

Reassignment that blocks in later than original trip all legs not in original sequence will be premium pay. (150%)
They only get reroute pay if the block in after their original trip and then only on legs not on the original rotation. It’s paid at 50%. If they are extended into a extra day they get double pay for that day.

Here is the SWA reroute rule.

I get the distinct impression that their reroute rules are flexible, but pay pretty darn well too.

I also believe they were premium pay if their trip reports earlier. A good friend there of mine had to report 10 minutes earlier to DH via a different route (ie, ATL-DEN-LAS rather than ATL-DAL-LAS) and got premium pay for that whole day. Said, "Whole day. It’s called “Move-Up” pay. If reroute you and you start earlier than on the original pairing, 1.5x for the day. "

And the cost of doing that business should be properly compensating us with premium pay automatically. I get the company wants to stay ahead of the power curve. And if they need me to do it...fine. but you dont get to have your cake and eat it to. If you are going to treat my awarded rotation as a rough draft, then show me the money. And I might just answer my phone too.

Common sense told me that. What is the shortest time you ever heard of a major airline mediation taking? In order to have a ratified contract in effect for the summer we need A agreement by April. Are you saying you think that’s going to happen? I Think April of next year maybe.
