Low hanging Fruit on C-19
Folks,
We all want the big stuff - more pay, better medical, tighter Scope etc. What about the low hanging fruit? Plenty of no/low cost items that we should be going after. - I will start with two - feel free to add:
Pre-board on all Deadheads: This is a friggin no-brainer, would cost the company zero and actually help the operation by letting crew members board, stow their bags, and get out of the way. Totally unsat that we don't already have this. I know some agents allow this but plenty do not.
Crew Meals for domestic: Not a no-cost item but certainly low cost. Just give the crew whatever the front cabin is getting. It would require no special catering just adding 2 more of whatever they are already putting on-board. The 5+30 cutoff is a ridiculous BK holdover that needs to be fixed.
We need to work to get these and similar items in our PWA.

Enhanced PCS template. No reason we can't put in the stipulations same as bidding in PBS.
Not a no cost item since they'd have to actually hire someone that knows how to write code and program computers.

I would like to be reimbursed for parking at my home airport up to the cost of parking at my base airport. In theory it's no-cost but in practice it will probably cost a lot because all the commuters that don't live in a FA base will be incurring parking expenses.
