The company has always been willing to negotiate exceptions. If pilots want one bring it up at a LEC meeting or email your reps.

Hear me out on this one: Eliminate IAWC.
a. they never realistically get to that step anyway
b. just make IA = IAWC
If they need to skip coverage and go IA, then it's available to everyone. If there's a rotation on your line or not, you're eligible.
Should go a long way to helping eliminate shenanigans.

Yep. Finally someone with common sense and smarts . Remember the campaign many years ago , “One level of safety” ? They left out the “One level of pay and benefits” LOL . Solidarity massively increases bargaining power. 🤷♂️

Here is one that doesn't currently impact me, but a UAL buddy brought up. Why don't we bid for FO and "bunkie" positions? Seems like it would make more sense to know your rest break ahead of time. It could also have an added bonus of saving some heartache for those middle seniority FO's who think they're about to get bought off a trip, only to have one of the number 1-3 guys swap into it at the last minute lol.

Definitely understand the appeal to knowing the breaks, but our informal system works out great in my view.

By the way Captains should allocate landings based on currancy. Many Captains take a landing every trip.

I would like to see GS trigger eliminated (like many other airlines), and I like the IRO way United bids long haul.
part of what has kept me from going WB is potentially being forced into a rest break I don’t want/can’t sleep on

) to see what their preferences are. I never got the "captain flies first leg" thing here. If my FO's need a lading for currency, one is flying out, one is flying back. No skin off my back. We do have many here, captains, that insist on flying the first leg over currency be danged. Never understood that mentality here.
