My only improvements to our system?

FSB should be add pay.
SC rocks. no change.

Rolling into RDO's. Domestically, add pay or premium pay.

Global rolling into RDO's. Nada. Sorry. Too many 4-10 day trips. You bid it. To bad, so sad. Maybe 18 days in a row option?????

Commuting to reserve? Too bad, so sad. Nothing for you. Nada. Zero.

Our reserve system is so good, I bid it half the time. Some people don't like not having control of their life. For them, they shouldn't bid a seat where they are on reserve. If they do. Too bad.

A 777 Capt at the bottom of his BES complaining??? YGTBFKM!!!!!!!
You must be a joy to sit next to on your 14 hour flight.

Did I mention, I am a "yes" voter on this?
