MUV, MUS, CMU, AFB should be eligible for SUB
I will annotate a few items in different threads that I suggest be modified in the next TA if this TA is not ratified. I don't seek to persuade you on how to vote.
In the event that you don't perceive this TA rewards you sufficiently for the risk(s) associated with its rejection, and these issues are revisited, please critique these thoughts here to make it easier for the company and union negotiators to find consensus rapidly.
No critique of the negotiators on either side is intended by my highlighting this section. None. They've worked very hard. They might be asked to return quickly for one more bite of the apple. They should not be wearied or put down. I hope that would say yes in that eventuality.
Page 367 H.2.
I was going to see some improvement is Substitution.
MUV, MUS, CMU, AFB should be eligible for substitution. We pilots, individually, can always turn down the substitution.
If a commuter has flown to Memphis for a CMU trip, your time was wasted if you get put into SUB in one of those statuses.
In the coming years, the company has more availability from us. Good for them - the freight needs to move. Right-sizing the lift with be difficult in the economic turbulence I see in the future. The economic viability of the corporation is important to all of us too.
There is little downside for the company. We have no bragging rights. No chest thumping. No halo encouraging other classes and crafts to unionize.
I seek your opinion because you comprise a vanguard of proactive pilots who are concerned with the financial viability of yourselves and the company. I deplore the characterisations of twelve angry men. It is deliberate and strategic but wrong.
You are much more than twelve. Very few of you are writing under more than one callsign based on my analysis of writing styles, syntax and grammar. You think. You act. Some of you are passionate. We hold these truths to be self evident. But you are thoughtful, not angry.
And I would submit myself to you, a jury of my peers, because I also perceive in you a willingness to extend mercy.
Twelve angry men? Rubbish!

And why are you starting massive numbers of threads about specific issues in a short time? Why not just make your points in one thread? Are you trying to flood this forum with minutiae?
