This is what you took out of it.

Is there any other CBA allowed activity you think shouldn't be accomplished right now?

I mean, we all know that Carryover makes the company more efficient.
Should people be allowed to hold carryover right now?

What about training on days off?

How about selling back Vacation?

In 2014 I was at least able to convince this chap that PiBS was indeed a bad idea.
Wasn't able to convince him to stop working an extra 3 days every month...his rough words were the Union hasn't said quit flying extra yet. My explanation that the Union Saying something like that, or that even saying work to Contract, are illegal job actions and FedEx would take us to court at the drop of a hat, and unfortunately win.

What I know: guys that did all of that plus draft and AVA (group one) made a lot of money. Guys that flew their line and didn’t do any of that (group two) made less money. Both groups got the same contract. Group one won, and then lost with the contract. Group two lost twice. For the next contract I’m gonna be a card-carrying member of group one. #YesToPBS

If this VB Plan becomes reality, pretty much the entire crew force will be members of group one!

True. and as the contract defenders said, it’s all about the time value of money.

Actually it was about others flying the draft and selling the vacation I was turning down. And the money certainly has been timely. We have no leverage with 2000 independent operators, might as well take what you can get like you did.

Are we allowed to proffer a carry-over trip?

Did you ask and get denied?
If I recall correctly, we can’t drop a c/o trip until trip trading opens for the month the trip carries into. Trip trades are equally restrcted unless the new trip carries further into the month than the one you have (I think) - It’s been a while.
My guess would be c/o proffer is also restricted until the trip trading window for the new month.
