11. Make hats optional
12. Provide us an option to wear a coat in winter that actually works
13. Pilots get +4 S2 passes over non-cons
14. Automate CS processes for coverage
15. Vacation time = ADG
16. All training pay = ADG
17. Guard rails on GFB (needs teeth)
18. Permanently eliminate sick look back
19. More vacation weeks available in the May-Aug timeframes
20. If it's on the no APD use days = holiday pay
and on and on and on. And finally, it's their issue to solve, not ours. And if we are going to "help" them solve it, then we need to extract as much benefit for the pilot group as possible. We'll see how bad they want it.
