I agree to extent with what was said. With that I'll say, I don't want the 5 hours or the vacation day, I want competence. I want to pull into a gate on a "scheduled" flight with an acars in range followed by an ops radio call on the ground to find that I actually do have wing walkers, AND a jetway driver, AND wheel chairs. Not a constant barrage of apologies to the passengers.

Nothing more demoralizing than making up time leg after leg to only be delayed leg after leg. While I agree that being compensated for it is nice, that doesn't negate the fact that it needs to get fixed. Fire someone for taking a 2 dollar mini but we will pay 5 hours and bonus vacation days, plus the fuel to sit and wait for said wing walkers.... I'd rather things just went smoothly than to get paid more.
