Nothing on our 2014 list :(, quick question for those in the know, did the 9 hour chart change for captain, and what happened to the rumored cash overtime that was floating around. Is there any other benefits in the new contract?
9 hour tours and cash OT are still being negotiated. The rumor I heard is that the CEA is considering giving up a week's vacation in exchange for going back to 8 hour tours. If that's true, it's a terrible idea.
Benefits? Cat 2 car is a nice perk. It was supposed to be a cat 1 but a few COs complained that XOs shouldn't have the same perk as them. Also, most or all XOs now have steady Fri/Sat or Sun/Mon RDOs for the most part.
Captains don't get chart days. Also, I was under the impression their new contract is ratified and done.
Im sure that the base pay portion of the contract is but other issues are still under negotiation. Similar to what the LBA is going through now.
What is LBA is going through? Also. Just wonder if anyone has a copy of an actual captain contract, Not just a pay scale. I'm debating if I should take the next test.
