Since you seem to be so smart, please explain:

- How can a company so poorly staffed, where simple trip swaps are denied routinely, operate SAP?

- What TA language forces the company to have Long call reserve lines?

-What TA language limits the amount of airport standby reserve?

- Are duty and trip rigs of 1:2.5 and 1:4.2 in line with our peers? Can you list any regional's with better rigs?

-Why is premium pay based on block hours and not credit hours? Is it easy to block 87 hrs? What if I have training or vacation
in my line? The premium pay rate is 125%. What is the premium pay rate at SkyWest? Isn't it more like 150% or 200%?

- Is it true pay rates have not increased in 7 years? What is inflation? Has the cost of living gone up?

- Is it true a company increase in healthcare premiums could wipe out any gains in this TA? Why is there no cap on premiums?
Don't the flight attendants have a cap? Is it because that section is not open for negotiations?

- There is a co basing LOA in the TA. Why is there a LOA in this closed section and not one for health care premium caps?
Is it true that Co basing language has to be worked out between the company and the union? Does RAH work well with the union? How come so many grievances are filed at RAH every year?

- What were the amount of bonuses paid out to RAH management?

- Is it true BB had said that the Jet Blue CEO is one of his peers in terms of compensation? Are the JetBlue pilots considered our peers?

Since I have to work, could you ask these questions? I will be patiently waiting for the answers! Thank you and God Bless!
