For retaining junior pilots and hiring new pilots they need to see AWAC as a "good" regional to work for. My thoughts as a commuter, and only off the top of my head.

-No more junior mans or involuntary extensions into a day off while on a trip. Period. They can make it MY choice to take.

-No more CDO's, or for the fools that like them put a mileage cap so they are short (not like the PHL-MKE CDO's)

-More pilot leverage with schedule swaps.

-Obviously reserve rules need some changes, because upgrade bypassers will keep new captains on reserve longer.

-No more (or significantly reduced) early start/late finish trips. Most people here commute, they could easily make schedules commutable and the pilot group would be instantly happy and possibly more willing to go to outstation bases.

-Bring back the stroopwaffles!
