There are lots of areas we can focus on beyond straight rates. Pilots however tend to focus on those rates. I would like as a example to see night pay come back and theater pay for Africa and South America.

IMO, with the survey out now, these are the kinds of discussions we need to be having.

Great, burst my bubble fast on that one!

Minimum day instead of ADG. 5+15 anytime we go to work. Work being an airplane, a sim or a vacation day. Simple stuff like that.
