It's going to change. There is no doubt. It isn't even the bottom 60 percent. It's more like the bottom 70-75 percent.
The union proposed a change a few years ago in a very "old swapa" way of doing things. They put out a survey. It was the modern equivalent of "Saddam yes or Saddam no?" and was (not shockingly) found to be inconclusive. Enough guys called BS to have the new regime put out a well thought out and researched education piece and set up a vote that will actually impose the will of the majority.
I am still relatively junior and I don't expect a summer week or Christmas. That will come in time. I just hate the current system as it stands. It is (in my opinion) corrupt and not being used as it was intended.
