BTW, in my dealings and others who have sent me emails, texts or pm's about this subject, the common response from rep's has been "the new system is what pilots demanded and if you don't like the system it's because your junior." Which is, let's all recall, a relative thing because you can be a 1987 hire sitting reserve on the 777A and not be happy.

But did I miss the survey on this? When did it happen?

One thing though, I've seen a change in tone to the positive and more receptive to other ideas lately, and that I appreciate.
