Utilities?

My intention was to indicate the changing contractual conditions. Bit by bit your original deal is sliding. The fact tat you have not yet received a revised utility plan does not mean there is no plan to do so..
For the new folks, its great; for the not so new you may remember a time when there were no restricitions on your monthly bidding, you were paid for duty time, you could take 30 days vacation at one time. You could even golf at a local course if that was your way out. just a few changes of note.
I agree the deal may be sweat for a new comer who previously flew 4 or 5 sorties per day. However one after another 18 hour duty followed by all night east bound in an alumin(i)um tube may find you remembering the 'good ole days'.
Again the point being the reshaping and resizing the goal posts (or gaol posts)..
One day Mr Murray will remember when his original deal was better than he will have it. Of course he may have a pretty sweat deal now...

Keep Recovering.
