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.
I have to disagree here... Why not ask for everything at this point? And beyond that, at the risk of sounding arrogant, I honestly think pilots should have better pass privileges than other employees. Maybe I'm wrong, it's been known to happen, but that's my take on it.
