A couple of things that are not conceptual in nature that stood out to me were:
1. Having retired pilots between 60 and 65 pay the same as active pilots for health care....that would awesome and would create some movement.
2. Allowing a reserve to pick up extra on call days.
3. Moving benefits for a pilot who is awarded an AE to move to a pilot base.
I agree, there are a lot of the things I want. They're mentioned and acknowledged.
