I'm all about giving the guys who live in ANC choices, but they need to recognize how painful that commute can be WRT burning days off for those who commute. If half the base commutes, make half the lines 17-day patterns. Not much sympathy from the ExCo, either. (Here come the STN jumpseating stories - and yes, that really sucked and I'm glad that got fixed - but if they want to help curb attrition, that's an easy zero-cost place to start)
Oh well, it only affects the new guys, right?

Training pay.
First year Guarantee.
Singing bonus paid for full longevity instead of amenable date.
No Profit sharing for 1-2 years, depending on DOH.
It is a long term trend around here and any attempt at change was met by the EXCO member KM's "What are you willing to give up?"
The good news is we will have a paradigm shift in the leadership by year end.
