Concur If we lose the arbitration it ends there.............that is until the Company wants to fly the 777 under ULR rules. Then we negotiate 777 ULR work rules.
Til then it is in the arbitrators hands.

No problem, I guess it depends on whether you are talking contract 2006 or 2010. If the arbitrator rules the 777 is a widebody I guess we could trade the ulr rules for a 777 payrate. Personally I think trading it for a better 757 payrate or a fix to accepted fares or fresher coffee in the AOC would do more for the "crewforce" than rewarding those who bid it without a payrate would.
Actually wouldnt it be better to hold off on ULR rules until contract 2010 or 2011 or 2012 is resolved? What do you call it; leverage?

Where X is a variable between 0-9
You have to remember that both sides must agree to a new contract. If we don't address ULR rules, IMHO, the company will not sign anything. We'll end up flying under the current rules until hell freezes over or the FAA forces work rule changes. You could be talking Contract 2015 or worse.
I am confused, are you saying ULR rules are leverage? If yes I agree. As such, I would rather use the (potential) leverage to get contract 201X rather than fix contract 2006. And as I have said, my priorities for contract 201X do not include a 777 payrate. YMMV.

I understand that. We should have forced their hand, then. The company went nuts over putting new-hires in a MD-11 in ANC. We should have seen if they had the guts to staff the left and right seat of the 777 with the most junior at the company. It would have been a big Mexican standoff and I think we would have prevailed.
My apologies to all our Mexican friends watching on this board. Sluggo...direct to sensitivity training for you!
