Thanks!

I'm pretty new so I can't remember exactly but pretty sure there were very limited airlines for zed by parents (Iceland air and a few others). I know that's the case for companions but can't remember parents. Health benefits start the first of the month the month after you start. Flight benefits are you can jumpseat quick (gets you into CASS first week) all others are 30 days and zed is 6 months. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong on the first part

It is possible to get assigned a multi-day trip that has a redeye on day 2 or 3 or both - but in my experience pretty rare.

Parents are always eligible to ZED (usually at a higher ZED rate than the employee) it's just the companions that are limited to (Iceland air and a few others)

You get employee, spouse, kids, and two parents. If you don't have a spouse or parents you can replace those with companions but can only have three total... Example : one spouse and two parents, no companions. No spouse two parents and one companion. One spouse, no parents and two companions and so on as long as there aren't more than three. (Not counting kids)

Anyone know when you might get a new TA? The last contract looks like it had it's last snapback on pay back in 2011. Just curious.

It's amendable in 2017 and negotiations will likely drag out for years.

I though pay negotiations can start March, I could be wrong though.

That's the early opener clause. That's just going to be pointless meetings (if they happen at all). I fully expect they will drag this out until 2020 or so. The pilot group has 0 leverage.

We have 3 more "snap backs". We go back to 12 days of sick leave, from our concessionary 10 days on 1/1/16, we go to our higher pay rates from the 1/1/12 pay table as of our 4/20/16 paycheck, and our final full pay "snap back" 1/1/15 pay table, will occur no later than March 2017. As mentioned already we open up negotiations in March 2016.

SIDE NOTE: management needs to understand that these are NOT raises!
