We don't have a "reassignment" window, per se. We have "recovery" which is kinda complicated if your trip is NOOP. We can't be rerouted prior to the airborne on the first leg. If a leg is canceled during your trip, there are some new restriction for reroute but any reroute is now 150% first day and 200% any day after but if you transition your base and are not put back on your trip, you are automatically released and can double dip after.

Their reassignment window sounds like the same thing as our 23K

I took it to mean a cancellation mid-trip while you're flying but could be wrong.

Yes the premium over ride is the same. I don’t have the exact language right now for recovery vs reassignment window yet but I remember it was only 4 hours, which was less than Delta. I’ll get back to you when the details are published. Seems they took down the updates page on the union site. I assume they’re working on completing it now.

Trust me, there are a great many who feel the same way….don’t listen to the haters that come to your board and trash talk your airline. If AA struggles, the entire industry’s pilots will all suffer, and most of us know this.

AA and UA do deserve some credit for our contract. If either of them had tried to improve their weak contract offers and accepted anything in the neighborhood, vs. voting them down quite convincingly, our management might have waited a lot longer to come to the table with a reasonable offer. In my opinion, UA and AA helped us a lot by not only saying no, they said HELL no!

There may be some things, maybe even many things, in this AA TA that raise the bar. The problem is that other than pay rates we won't have a chance to jump to or exceed any of those new high marks until at least 2027. Pay rates are the one and only thing we here at Delta had a chance at seeing an immediate boost.

Still considered successful pattern bargaining. It’s easy to push up pay rates. Difficult to get work rules back once you give them up. It looks like they made some nice gains in work rules.

Generally speaking, for the non-DAL types, at DAL, recovery is an obligation you might have if something happens to your trip before the first leg takes off. Lots of restrictions. If your whole trip NOOPs, the system is adequately flexible, and you can pick up a trip worth half the value to satisfy the recovery. If your cancelled trip is in the next bid month, a trip in the current or next bid month can be used to satisfy the recovery. You can pull something off the open board.

Re-route is what happens to your trip after the first airborne departure. Key part here is the premium and how it stacks with other reroute premiums and rotation pay like the after midnight cutout, min day, extended duty day pay, etc. The previous system was complicated, but the new system is much easier to figure out what you are owed.
