Like I said, cool idea, but ONLY after we take care of everything else. And Bolshevik rage aside, this is clearly one issue where we would be simultaneously negotiating on behalf of every single employee group because they will absolutely rage against the machine if we get that and they don't. Talk about misallocation of negotiating capital.
The whole reason I moved from New Hampshire to Florida was because it took me and my family 2 days to get home from Disney World...using my Vacation Passes on DL.
I prefer NOT to go back to the airport on my Vacation. Now I just walk out in my backyard and pull up the mainsail, and I'm gone... on "Vacation" every day I'm off, when the wind is blowing.
If it's not blowing, I'll have to mow the lawn.
Some say, "I would never commute!" and live 30 minutes from the ATL, and hope to get a Greenslip once in a while.
I prefer to live where I like, but within my means, and never have to worry about chasing the greenslips.
