Let's start a letter campaign to not only the company but also ALPA, informing them that the bottom 10% have a crappy QOL and from here on out refuse to fly on....... Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, New Years Eve, New Year's day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, my wife's birthday, my kid's birthday, my dog's birthday, St. Patrick's Day, Valentine's Day, Super Bowl Weekend, Halloween, President's Day, Columbus Day, and especially Aviation Day.

As I said earlier (TIC), we need to be a democratic socialist system where we can spread out these onerous QOL issues. I'm sick and tired of the rich just getting richer, the senior getting more senior, and that the poor, downtrodden masses at the bottom 50% have to stand in line for breadcrumbs and with their best English accent asking, "Please, sir. May I have some more."

Let's average the pay scales and everyone can make the same from year number one to year number 40.

Do like American and non-rev by first come, first serve.

Everybody gets three and a half weeks of vacation. None of this new hires one week and 25 years guys five weeks.

When deadheading, a random number generator allocates seats with no regard to seniority because we're all equal. We are going to share the benefits and the difficulties equally.

I do see a very positive outcome of this new airline order. Copilots can start buying captains rounds of drinks and dinner and the captain won't even say thank you.

When crew meals are available, we'll flip a coin to see who gets their first choice if they are limited.

When checking into the hotel, if there's one suite and one normal room, flip a coin to see who gets it.

Flip a coin to see who gets the rest break of their choice.

Flip a coin to see who gets a landing if they're limited.

On the international fleet, all copilots are checked out as captain, so we'll flip a coin to see who sits in the left seat vice right seat.

We will dictate to the company how to construct rotations and lines of time.

Monthly bidding will have a random number generator to determine the first bidder vice the last. Every month can be a crap shoot. Did I get a lump of coal in my stocking or did I get that pony that I always wanted?

Even stevens. This will be great.
