Are they on top of my list? No, but personally they are currently more valuable to me then the DAL health care plan, commuting policies, and a bunch of other things that I don't use, and even though I don't currently use these items I do realize that they are far more important to the Pilot group as a whole.

Lets not disparage the things that we don't personally value but lets complete the survey - find out what most guys value - and then go after that.

And finally, screw the whole "Pie" analogy - we need a bigger pie!

Positive space passes are pretty much worthless. I tried to use my one great team passes a couple times. There are never any of the seat class available on the flights I have wanted to take. I want to make enough money to just buy my own tickets on whatever airline is most convenient.

I'm tired of the political banter. I want paid more yesterday. I'm tired of living paycheck to paycheck. This new contract can't come soon enough.
