If your late you get fined!!

Remember, reserve days have a min day value now, from how I understand. So....If you fly 15 days now for 70 hrs block (about what I have been ave.) you get 75 hrs of pay credit for the month. In the new contract, you would get your 70 hrs, plus 18.75 for the min day value on the 5 other reserve days that you did not get used. That is 88.75 hrs of pay credit, which from my experience is WAAAAY more than I get in premium each month.

PS. , don't be so dam condescending in your posts. Your opinions and info are valid and relevant, just don't condescend. "I have news for you". I work here too, nearly as long as you, and I am well aware of how much premium adds to my paycheck.

PS, don't be so sensitive. I would characterize your post as fairly condescending too, but I have pretty thick skin, and I really don't care what you think of me.

The "I have news for you" was meant in that I thought it really was news, because you didn't seem to know that, even though you attempted to speak up for all of us in professing that premium is worthless. It was not meant to be condescending. I'm always so misunderstood.

I don't think anybody knows the magnitude of the fines yet, but once we do then airlines will just factor them into the cost of the flight and choose to cancel it sooner.

Doesn't actually HELP passengers (the the DOT purports to represent), it just means more cancelled flights and more passengers trying to go standby on the next over-booked flight that may get cancelled too.

If flights were chronically late by 18 minutes then fixing the block time would fix it, but frankly customers could give a rats rear end. The problem is the 3 hour delayed flights and, in the end, do you want to get to your destination 3 hours late or maybe days late due to over-booking on the next 5 flights you try to go on?

This is the government doing everything it can to avoid actually fixing the problem.
