Pegasus,I don't think reducing the divisor would be a problem with the majority of crew as long as the union publishes these ideas and tells everyone the pro's and cons and not just the points the union likes us to see.
After tax, the take home pay difference would be very little and with the divisor spread over 56 days.I think most crew would see the benefit and if it stops the company from reducing the crew complement then it's far better.Like I said before once the company has taken away the crew member it will almost take an act of God to get them to bring them back.Did the union suggest this or anything else as an alternative to reducing the crew?
I don't care what really happens with management,all I care about is the impact on crew and let's face it,management don't stand up for us when we get conditions reduced.
