Quote: Unfortunately the horse trading taking place now is cutting into the last remaining nuggets in our work rules of any worth. Compare the contract of a couple decades ago against what we are left with now....there is no comparison.

If there is going to be horse trading let's not trade a few dollars for something that ultimately reduces safety. Can we agree on that? Also, these work rule changes that get sold as huge wins with erroneous information (ie we just need the up to 99 hours for reserves to cover a specific situation for international reserve) causes further erosion of credibility of the union and later, reduced QOL of the line pilot.
Reserve when I was hired was 19 days on call. 24 hours a day with 2 hours to report. You're right there is no comparison.
Quote: Just because we have something that is bad "Lima" doesn't mean we it is OK or good to Add something else that is bad.
This right here^^^ What we SHOULD be doing is eliminating the 2 man availability of the company to schedule trips like LIM and DUB...

Uphill- both ways.
Quote: And that somehow dampens the safety concern? This is really the crux of all the angst here, and I think it massively hypocritical of us to even discuss money trumping safety. But here we are.
Our entire industry is risk management and the cost of something vs. the safety of doing it.

I asked about it and it looks like LC changes with the LOA to no acknowledgement required (with some nuances of course). That is way better!

Capt. Square, what exactly does^^^^^^^ mean?

I heard the same rumor. No more trip acknowledgement at all.
Studying the 117 language and comments now to see if that would be legal.
My first inclination was "that can't be", but so far I don't see why not.

Why is this better?

80 said it was better. Not me.
I'm still piecing together how it might work.
The FAA "interpretations" I've looked at so far don't seem to require any acknowledgement of flight duty assignments in the long call reserve scenario. You just have to have the prospective rest opportunity.

Okay, for those as dense as me... How would that work for a trip assignment or short call assignment?

Because it removes the leash of 10 hr acknowledgement and the subsequent PD that they have been doing to guys that didn't do it in time.
