If we allow ANY 3/4 digit ID numbers (original Atlas) on the next EXCO it will lead to the same road of mediocrity this place has been on for 20 years. The original Polar pilots + those hired in the last 5 years represent a controlling voting body. If we do not stand up and use it we will end up with the same (super senior, check airman) self serving ideology that exist now.
FOs are the majority of the seniority list. Why not elect one as ExCo chairman? I sure hope some run.

Ideal set up would be 767 and/or Polar captains with FO's that were involved in the union at their previous job as the new exco, in my opinion at least. The rumors of who are running sound like the same old same old though.

Also, I'm all about getting outside professional help for the upcoming negotiations, but that'd have to be left up for a vote by the membership.

Some other items that would make atlas better:
Guaranteed vacation days AND days off awarded in the month.
Guaranteed training days NOT on days off in the month.
Gateway basing, which would get rid of imputed income...and it could be worldwide gateway basing.
3 sets of lines: 18 days on, 16 days on and 14 days on....and you bid for the length of time you want to work/get paid. Netjets does this...
All pilots paid by seat/years, like UPS.

I'd like be able rollover vacation to the next year. Maybe up to like 6 weeks maximum for FOs and 8 for captains. Or 6 weeks until 5 years and 8 weeks after that. Then maybe I can get vacation where it doesn't overlap my patterns' days off. That's not really vacation, it's just paid time off. Vacation should be in addition to your already patterned time off.

But I agree with the rest of the premise!
