Controllability of ones schedule and time off is key in this new environment of training churn and rapid hiring.

I will accept nothing that has the potential to increase my at work hours or the quality of the trips my seniority has earned me. In fact I view the lack of gains in this area a failure.

Vacation availability should be uniform through out the year. Training and vacation should pay equal to trip pay. All pilots should have more flexibility with sick time or a number of paid personal drop days or a flex bank to use like personal time. My working for an airline should actually include travel benefits. A positive space ticket for immediate family members twice a year. Etc. There are many more but you get the point.
