What contact or rather handbook are you reading? Some guys are looking at over a 50% pay cut for January. A productivity based contract would be fine if they hadn't decided to stay massively overstaffed. Or if pilots had a say in that productivity. You know, add trips from open time and drop trips if you want to work less. Like most major airlines have had for ages. 35 hours on the 747 is a huge pay cut. Being overstaffed they can roster that. 600 hours a years is a pay cut, which is 50 hours. They've taken a first rate rostering system from Jeppesen and gutted it to a half baked request system. Only an airline in complete denial of how pilots work would think guys are going to fly as efficiently as possible when it takes money out of their paycheck.
