So I managed to steal a copy of Colgan Air flight attendants contract with the USWU.
Here are a few of the noteworthy things that we as pilots either do not get at all or sometimes get if whoever we are talking at HQ is in a good mood:

The only way to guarantee thing like this for us is to VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!Sec5.B.2 – Lines and reserve lines shall be scheduled to contain one calendar day off in any seven consecutive calendar days.
Sec5.B.7 – Except in the case of a “stand up” where the break is not a legal rest (i.e. release to report) the company will schedule a line such that a flight attendant receives at least 9 hours of rest, release to report, when away from base overnight, and at least 10 hours to rest release to report in base.
Sec5.B.8 – A trip will not exceed 5 consecutive days or 4 nights away from base. A flight attendant may voluntarily agree to extend this period to 6 consecutive days or 5 consecutive nights.
Sec5.C.1 – Unless prevented by operations, the company will post on line a bid package for the following month available to flight attendants on line at crew.colganair.com at 1200EST on the thirteenth (13th) day of the current month.
Sec5.C.2 – Bidding will close at 1200EST, 5 days after the bid opening
Sec5.C.3 – Lines will be awarded by base, in seniority order, to flight attendants who are permanently based at a base and eligible to bid. Awards will be posted on CrewTrac and online via the crew web site, no later than 7 days after bid closing.
Sec5.D.5 – An off duty flight attendant will not be junior manned to sit home reserve or hot reserve.
Sec5.D.4.c – Flight attendants who are off duty. When selecting an off duty flight attendant, the company will first call flight attendants who are in the base of the flying, in reverse seniority order, then in other bases, in reverse seniority order.
Sec5.H.3 – In circumstances where delays would require flight attendants to fly to the FAR limitations, the company will minimize these occurrences through the use of reserves consistent with the needs of the operation. If a flight attendant is extended beyond 14 hours when reserves are available, he/she will be compensated for all time in excess of 14 hours at 125% of his her hourly rate.
Sec5.H.5 – A meal period will normally be provided to a flight attendant who is scheduled for a duty day of more than ten hours without 60 minutes of ground time. The flight attendant will receive one hour of pay credit in exchange for missing a meal period.
Sec18.J.2.a – Junior Manning pursuant to sec5.D.4.c. A flight attendant who is junior manned will be paid one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of actual block hours flown.
Sec18.N – Extension Pay – A line holder who has flying added to his/her trips shall not have such time added outside the original calendar day. The flight attendants will receive a pay credit for the additional legs flown of one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of block time.
Sec19.C.1 – A flight attendant who deadheads by use of surface transportation for one hour or more shall be credited with fifty percent of the applicable hourly rate for time spent en route.
