Rainmaker should:
Allow comparison of actual block versus market time
Show codes that are easy to understand and accurate including 150%,175%, cancellation etc.
Show reroutes and cancellation legs and not have them disappear after the leg is flown or cancelled
Automatically apply min day (reserve and line holder)
Show all credits like taxi credits, customs clearance, etc.
Automate all these functions as long as the proper codes are put in. We shouldn't have to wait until the end of the month to see if the proper codes are put in. If we could look at things daily, it would be much more manageable to recognize.
If IOCC continues to clear trades, drops, and adds in the open time management, rainmaker should have a record of what your original schedule was and what modifications were made with appropriate pay codes.
Make sure that scheduling does input the correct codes.
Am I missing anything else?

At least with sabre I could make the system work for me. Though I would need to set aside time to look it over and fill out pay reports and discrepancies, I always managed to get my pay in the end. However, my patience has run out.

It has been the worst thing to happen to TSA in the two years I've been here. Overall, I had been pretty satisfied here, but IOCC and PBS are the last straw. Apps are going out to other regionals.

And I do not think that Delta and United will ever offer a true flow program like American does.

I'd expect to see the return of the 10k "sign on" bonus with maybe a 5k annual retention bonus. That's probably about it. Better than nothing, but not good enough to combat the multitude of problems the company still has not fixed.... They still owe me over 1k of pay. I've been gone almost a month and a half. No response from anyone after multiple attempts. I'll probably never see that money.
No reason for a junior FO to stay right now. Maybe if you're driving to work.... But get comfortable driving to an FO job. Because you will not upgrade. And you'll never be paid properly.
