2) Increase year 2 pay
3) Have upgrade time come down to a "reasonable" amount of time
4) Offer a better "non-rev" benefit travel program for employees and family members.
Points 1,2 and 4 seem to be within company control. Enlighten me if I am wrong, but isn't point 3 a beyond company control? Couldn't the upgrade situation at other airlines get worse and Eagle's actually get better?
