On a serious note. Just wondering: How do we as pilots make our company more profitable and more successful? I think we all try to save fuel as much as possible. We do our absolute best trying to expedite the transfer of pax from point A to point B. So what's left? Is it forfeiting more pay? Is it paying more for our medical benefits? Is it sacrificing our pensions (scratch that one)? What the heck do they want from us?

Have any of you seen the studies conducted on the new FAA 800 hour proposal? I am doing an aircraft annual inspection for a guy who is doing a study on this issue. It is eye opening and staggering at what this future brings. Just trying to keep up here, and add my thoughts.
