Vacation-max 29 days min. 12 days
No pay for gov.'t madated training
Eliminate holiday pay
Increase on duty limitation to 15 hrs. (domestic) 16 hrs. (intl.)
Eliminate employee parking
Eliminate crew meals
They are really trying taking the glamour away!
What is short crew?
I wonder how many of the "work rules" could be trader for less pay. What I mean is, it sounds as if NWA management is not going to back down off of their "target" for reductions...but can the FAs get their with the 23% pay cut, or are the work-rule changes needed too?
What about pension and health care?
The crew meals....is this a big loss?
