· Hotel rooms in domicile for pilots who are rescheduled to overnight in domicile.

· Parking stipend for commuters.

· Increase vacation pay from 2.5 to 3.5 hours per day.

· Deadhead pay moving from 75% to 100%.

· Alternate DH deviation – would allow a pilot at the end of a trip to change a DH to domicile to a DH home.

· Commute in during the call out period on the first day of a reserve sequence.

· Early release from P1 and P2 for Reserve pilots – P1 release at 1400, P2 release at 1900.

· Reserve pilot’s ability to waive 11 hours domicile rest in order to secure RRA on a pilot’s last day.

· Moving the Bid Timeline earlier – move the final line awards to be out on the 16th and match timeline for FTIs.


No mention of pay rate improvements which is unfortunate. I was under the impression the contract amendments was to make this company attractive for 600+ new hires next year. We'll still get people in the door but I don't see 600 under current book. We'll see.

I'll make some inquiries for the specific number. Haven't been in the office to check myself.
