The more people read it, the more I'm hearing "I was expecting worse". By all accounts, most people are happy with the OVERALL result.
At the end of the day, the following will inevitably occur:
* Because we'll do longer days throughout the month, our hours and overtime will increase.
* The opportunity for people to hit 140 earlier in the month, and achieve more time off, will exist. Especially for part timers!
* With the addition of BOC flying across the network, more crew will be flying around the clock, creating more job opportunities for Cabin Manager, Part Time slots, recruitment and movement in general.
One thing I'm hearing is the "oh, with this new EBA we can do six sector days". WE CAN DO THEM NOW! MEL base have done them before under the current EBA! At least with the extended hours there is a CAP on the number of sectors we can do.
Nothing overly alarming for me.
