Clutch,
Thanks for all your work--I know that particular job is especially thankless.
FWIW--I quit taking mil leave and just started "dropping" trips about 2 years ago after headache with an ACP. I won't see any of those funds you have fought for, but a lot of folks will. In my case--I just didn't want to fight or raise my profile every time I needed a day off to fly Eagles, but the 727 manning has made it a lot easier. I know that isn't that case on other seats (like the MD!), and a lot of guys will get a nice little bonus due to your efforts.
