While I know I personally didn’t ask for GS to be a proffer, I honestly don’t know if the membership at large wanted that with all the good and bad that comes with it. Of course I’d like to be able to sell back my vacation, but I surely don’t want anyone else to have that option. I think proffered GSs are similarly good for a few individuals but bad for the group overall. That wouldn’t necessarily be true if we could enter persistent slips with all the PBS parameters available to only enter specifically what we want to fly…but the company has shown they want zero specificity and make us enter generic slips every month with the clunckiest of interfaces.

- Give me more parameters
- Let me easily toggle on/off as my social/family/alcohol schedules ebb and flow
- Let slips carry over multiple bid groups or at least allow copy/paste of all my hard work to make them representative of what I’ll accept
- Keep me logged in to icrew for more than twelve seconds
