20% credit over block is perfectly reasonable and conservative. You would actually have to try to get it much lower than 15%, ie bid all high-efficiency 70/90 seat trips which would be a good strategy if you want max time off at home.

That too I just don't think its a good idea to plan on your year 1 credit being much over a 1000. The first two months only pay 60 hours each.

That's true, so it would be more accurate to say 120% over block after new-hire training.

I would anticipate the 36.50 being used for first year for a while when this is implemented then back down when their need is fulfilled....I.e never. Schoolhouse rumor is 16 more 175s for Alaska

They'll fight tooth and nail as long as they can before going to 36.50. My small circle is already saying no to this but we didn't expect anything great either.

Pay package sucks, but it may be what's needed to keep new-hires through the door and upgrades happening. I'd rather have this pay package and continued decrease in upgrade times than more negotiations and potential longer upgrade.
