I thought the "two weeks" thing was a little much, even though there are jsut as many senior pilots (with 4-5 weeks) as there are junior pilots (with 2-3) on reserve but even with one week it's pretty much worth it. Buying a couple days to tack onto an existing week with your bank to push you into the next vacation pro-ration step is helpful (Like T apparently did recently).

I like the idea by Imapilot to have the ADG get up to 5:15.
(heck, I'd like to see it eventually go to 6:00 like FDX... but let's get take baby steps)
