joebanana, our CoS is going backwards because of people like you.
Iron Skillet, here's a properly written clause from the UPS pilot contract. If those who wrote OUR CoS had used half a brain, this would preclude the argument placing our positioning crew in the back of an Alaska Airlines MD-80 from Anchorage to LAX (5 hours or so) because the front is called FIRST and we're only entitled to BUSINESS!
(2) If an approved carrier’s aircraft only has two (2) cabins, a fully refundable
ticket for the front cabin will be provided. If the approved carrier has more
than a two (2) cabin configuration, a fully refundable business class or
equivalent ticket will be provided.
Their deadheading (positioning) procedures and rules takes up 9 pages of their contract! Our CoS was written by people who have no idea how to write a pilot contract.
Also, their contract is full of examples showing the proper way to interpret things just so there is no room for discussion! No such clarification for OURS!
