May 7-31 there was 161hrs of open time FO Q, as of today there is 108hrs. And from my understanding they are using every bit of res coverage. Let them get in a big pickle to where they are cancelling flights.

A lot of the senior guys stick around for the great 401k, they really hammered the match for the senior guys (currently 125% match on up to 10% of earnings, proposed 50% on up to 10% earnings) factor in almost 6% pay cuts and other contract language (loss of min day and most of the over time) I would say this proposal would cost some of the real senior guys at least $20-40k next year.
Looks like they want some language added in for aircraft up to 86 seats. "Please Delta don't give the regionals bigger airplanes".

We have a lot of open time for FO's as the company is surprisingly giving them all time off for other interviews and job fairs.

I don't mean to pick on you, just to comment on this mentality that is likely shared by many others...
This is the equivalent of saying, "Thank you, Sean, may I have another?" Mild case of Stockholm Syndrome, perhaps. If I was 9E management reading this, I'd think the pilots were breathing a sigh of relief and going to go with it because they were "expecting much worse." It appears it'll be a HUGE financial strain, especially considering health insurance costs. Keep fighting.

I'm so sick and tired of this ******* place!! We had some POS '99 contract until 15 months ago, and now this crap!
We still have too many people here who are willing to bend over backwards for this place, and it ****ES ME OFF!
80 degrees out and we kill the APU after engine start, taxing into ATL in the same weather and no APU start, flying DTW to CMH and requesting FL230 to save gas (we don't pay for gas), closing the door and not dropping the brake until ready to push, etc, etc. "We gotta save the company money because blah blah blah..." Well I have news for you!!!! Before as a cash cow 9E was never able to do anything right, and now some people are believing they can? 
What a joke of a company this is...rant over.

From: In favor of good things, not in favor of bad things
Unfortunately, I *very* recently heard a guy talking about attempting to picking up open time to earn some extra money..vacation, pay off some debt... (Suffice it to say, not a first year FO, but will leave things vague to protect the identity).
I am tired of passenger air travel being subsidized off our own backs by our passion/motivation to fly.
