Have you asked your rep about it yet?

Uber promise for co-domicile? I can't wait for you to show me that promise in writing. Because I sure hope you weren't suckered into voting yes without that promise written into a contract.

All the things that were attractive are slowly eroding away. 15% more that will need a crashpad in expensive NYC and don't forget, no more van! I'm already at 46$ for the month. Bidding LCR but there goes that.

What is happening at EDV??? Growth, well, you better hope you have people to do it because EDV is starting to not be the place to be anymore. The company keeps failing to get agreements with the union, thought they were friends, and we are paying the price. Sad as again we are being kicked in the teeth by our management.
The 30% LCR was temporary and was never set in stone. I believe it only lasted 6 months or so? Maybe you should move on.

Here's something that's maybe worth griping about. Has anyone noticed that the NYC 900 pairings are a lot less commutable this month? There are lots of pairings with either reports by 7am or releases after 9pm... like way more than normal.

Maybe crew planning went in together, bought a few crashpads and are trying to sweeten the investment?

The Uber thing was directly addressed by RE last year. There was issues with Insurance. That’s why it didn’t go into implementation.

My read on the LCR thing was that they couldn't come to an arrangement before the end of the loa and didn't want to rush another one out. I think they'll get it together and get it back, but on our terms.

And to echo the CEO talk. I've heard some things from LCA's and HQ people that he's very anti pilot, and a terrible communicator.

This ^^^ If you're planning to be in this profession for the long term, please, please, please understand this. My future career QOL depends on it. If you don't see whatever is "promised" in contract negotiation in writing in the contract you're currently voting on, it doesn't exist. "Promises" are made to get people to vote on a contract, if it's not in the black and white language of the deal, it's nothing.

As for the union not doing their job, I think they're doing exactly what we pay them to do. The Company doesn't give us anything for free, and we shouldn't be giving them things for free either. Dynamic training scheduling was a huge concession for this pilot group. The Company wants it, they think it will save them money so we should get something for that loss of QOL and for the money saved. So far, that something is 30% LCR. We're trading the QOL of trainees and instructors for increased QOL for reserves, I guess that's an OK trade. However, there are some unintended consequences of the dynamic scheduling, things like traveling on days off, sitting in MSP with no sims scheduled, scheduling more instructors than sims. We didn't know about those things when we signed the trial. Now we do, so we want those things fixed in plain language of the new LOA. So far, the Company hasn't agreed to fix those things. I think ultimately they will and the 30% LCR will come back unless they just don't see the value in this Dynamic Scheduling thing and they want to abandon it completely.

It sucks for April but in the long term if we go back to 15% for a few months to secure the language in the new LOA to protect this pilot group for the next X years, then I think it's worth it. I hope I'm in the majority on that.
