I don’t think he is talking about years here, I think he is more talking about years of abuse. Anyone hired since 07 have only had pay raises and semi forward progress with each year and contract. It’s real easy to talk about how easy it is in this industry right now, and I hope that continues forever, however it hasn’t been so easy.

Two paid days prior to your primary vacation would also benefit everyone and is also something we should look at.

The APD is more likely, however we already have IVD that functions like that. The real issue is the pathetically low value of a vacation day. That needs to come up significantly before we entertain more weeks.

Depending on where pilots place that in the survey one or both is possible. It comes down to where we prioritize each item on our want list. Negotiations are done via written term sheets. Each time term sheets are exchanged the items are costed out by both sides. Costing is one of the more important parts of contract negotiations. Every item will have a cost attached to it. We are not going to get every item on our Christmas list. The negotiating committee and MEC will have to decide out of what they feel is the max achievable spend from the company and then allocate that money. It should be allocated according to the priorities in the contract surveys.

I'd like to see the ADP both paid, and carry-over. If not used when you retire, get paid for the unused days.
