You're onto something with #3, except I'd lower the number to 6:15/calendar day. FedEx has this, or something similar, and I'd like to think the company could build trips a little more efficiently (ie no 32 hour HSV layovers.) As long as they build the trips better they won't pay out much more credit and we keep moving with a result of more pay OR more days off - probably a little of both. Just imagine how popular UIO would suddenly become, or any of the other 2 leg, 3 day 10:30 trips we have now.
#4 is a pipe dream. I like your "go for the kill" mentality, but we need to prioritize and be reasonable. I think fixing Section 1 and 3 as FTB has suggested would more than get the 50%+1 that's needed to pass. I'd bet even just fixing one of the 2 sections as described would be enough, but it's hard to tell how guys would vote.
Agreed, section 1 is my priority. Ftb covered that for me. #4 should be like FedEx or better (one can hope). #3 should be somewhere between my dream and what we got now. 11 hours 3 days are totally unsat.
