Diesel, please stop stating
my opinion for me (incorrectly at that) I'm quite capable of speaking for
myself...
For example, I'm very interested in reading all the details about PTO. It sounds like it will be good for families like mine. There are more events my husband doesn't want to miss then there are times that he is sick so a system that recognizes the need to plan accordingly sounds good to us. The 15 day schedule also sounds like it might work well for pilots with young children that think a week is too long for dad to be gone. We might give it a try and use the extra money for remodeling projects.
My previous posts were made from the perspective of judging the contract for
overall progress for the most pilots/families. Pay and basing are broad category issues that can be discussed generally. Schedules, work rules, etc are subjective. While I can
guess what might appeal to others, it's a much safer bet that almost everyone will be interested in ten$ of thousand$ of dollars (most NJ pilots need the money) and that those stuck in 5 domiciles will benefit greatly from a choice of 100 bases.
No matter how pilots ultimately vote, just having the opportunity to make more money and get another signing bonus only two years after the last one is a good deal that none of the other frac pilots have. That alone is a reason to be appreciative. My thanks to all who worked on bringing us the TA!
