This and all the small things start to add up. Like the ability to make us sit around the airport if they think they may need us to cover extra flying... I've never heard of something like that. If they want to reassign me that's fine but build some protections into it and make the language black and white. If they don't know if they are going to need me before I'm off duty that's not my problem and I'm going to the hotel. Also the change in long stay vs short stay hotel language. I don't want to sit at some Holiday Inn express across the street from the airport for 18 hours. I did that at my regional and it was terrible. Add in the inability to drop reserve days and all these little nitpicky things along with all the big things we've given them (PBS/losing transition conflicts) and it's not a good deal.

I get that we are negotiating and it's give and take but I just feel like we are giving away the farm for pay that is still sub industry average, a direct match that is lacking at DOS, LTD that on paper looks good until you realize it's only 5k a month unless you pay more and it's pretty obvious to me. Lots of us came here for the QOL. We are giving a good amount of that away with this TA in my opinion.
