Dammit man no one is saying transition is more important than those things. We are saying to not be so flippant towards getting rid of it. It has real value that those statements only undermine. In-base people could argue that 4 days off only screws them out of lines with all weekends off and they’d be right. That said it is a work rule that shouldn’t just be given away.
That's the game we're playing here, right?

I get transition conflicts pretty regularly, I think we should give back reserve drops or at least "center of reserve block" drops if we can keep transition because that won't affect me personally and it really only applies to 20% of the pilot group anyway.

Damn, I'm really warming to this "it doesn't affect me personally so IDGAF" method of contract negotiations we've stumbled upon in this thread!!! Maybe we can even get some snazzy yellow "Screw Anyone Who Isn't Me, I'm Gonna Get Me Mine" lanyards so nobody forgets it? /sarcasm
How can you miss something you never had in the first place?

How much OT is there in ACY?? And, let’s say they wanted to send you elsewhere to cover a trip, how easy would it be to get you there? The benefits you enjoy there don’t necessarily apply to those of us in DFW, ORD, or DTW....

That's great but only a select few of our 1600+ pilots can pull off 160 hours a year so the interests of the 20% of us who pad our credit to block ratios with TX drops every month or two must take precedence over those of your insignificant little group. For the greater good your drop the middle day loophole is just gonna have to go.

Im ok with middle day drops going away if it means we get Industry Standard Pay. They gottaaaaaa pay though!

ACY is home of the double deadhead to start & end a trip. (For RSVs). Very easy for them to limo us to PHL and DH
