For my 2012 "wants", if it came down to a few things that would have the biggest impact:

1. Pay and credit for ALL activities (e.g. training, deadhead only, vacation, reserve days.)

2. Duty periods calculated on a day by day, not look back/averages.

3. DPM of 5:30 in 2012, 5:40 in 2013, 5:50 in 2014, 6:00 in 2015 (6:00 is FDX current book)

4. Payrates to equal FDX widebody for ALL FLEET TYPES equally.(see next for "adjustments").

5. Return of night override of $10 CA, $7 FO for all time 2200-0600 Local Base Time, LBT resets with layovers greater than 72 hrs.

6. Increase of intl. override of $10 CA, $7 FO.

7. DC of 18%.

8. Profit sharing/bonuses calculated using the same methodology as top 10 company officers (amounts would obviously be lower, but it would equalize the "payouts in a corporate loss" animosity).

Yes, ALPA guys, it is a WISH LIST, I understand we need leverage to make gains.....

Pay and credit for ALL activities would increase pay, QOL and opportunities for EVERYBODY in huge ways (ask Sailing for details on this). Night and intl. overrides would make up for changes in "pay by type" equalization. I have some interesting "outside the box" ideas stemming from the pay and credit thing but can't truly and fully explain them in webboard form.

Enjoy!
