Not on trip averaging. Almost everyone has it except southwest. The only difference is if you are averaging calendar days and not duty periods. Hard calendar day is far far superior and I think southwest is the only one with it. FedEx maybe but I’m not sure

DAL, AA, UAL have it. AA just got theirs outside of negotiations last month I think. B6 doesn't have it, but I can't imagine a TA passing here without it.

Forget legacies; let's compare this AIP with Southwest...

Substandard pay rates
Substandard retirement
No profit sharing (huge amount of money)
PBS (SWA still has line bidding)

Plus, SWA (and others) are gearing up for their next contract.

Exactly what management wants you to focus on. Here's the problem... What will the other airlines' pay be in 3 or 4 years? Guess where Spirit's pay will be in comparison. Right back to the current situation.

They will place the unproductive stuff at the beginning of the pairing to keep you from avoiding it by calling out sick. The only productivity will be day turns, so even senior commuters will be bidding them and getting real familiar with the crash pad.

The reason they do this (I think) is to keep you available for junior manning if needed. Otherwise I cannot figure out why max productivity would be avoided by them.

Ask me how I know.
I think you're on the right track. I saw this sort of thing at another airline. Bizarre scheduling practices which made no sense, until you started considering how such manipulation could enhance the productivity and flexibility of the pilots. Pilots generally like being productive when they're at work, but they don't like being flexible... especially on their days off.

This is exactly what I was trying to say.

No refuting this for sure. And if we already had the scope, LTD, and retirement in this offer I’d vote no immediately. That’s not the case though.
