A good deal is everyone being paid guarantee while the lines get easier and the reserves get a break.

A bad deal is a few guys getting more days off with much less pay while everyone else gets a continuation of the summer beating.

Do you really want to be seasonally employed for the rest of your career? This is a Frank Lorenzo/Carl Icahn scheduling technique.

How did the expectations of the pilot group get so freaking low?

So the number one guy should get the same pay and days off as the last lineholder?

Five VRFs system-wide in November. All IAH 756.

Yes, it is much lower than usual (35 in Oct and 49 in Sep), although it might be just the holiday as you say.
