Anyway,
Could you expound on "Direct Contact" and what it implies? Pro's vs Cons?

While we are talking about QOL items, how about making a day of vacation worth an actual day of credit? Min days off as a reserve is 12 most bid periods. One week of vacation should mean 19 days off right? But our messed up credit value of a vacation day means that you only actually get 16 days off…

It’s been a slow grind improving vacation, years ago it didn’t matter because you had paper bidding, or the post award slide. I don’t think we will ever see something like that again.
What I would like to see is, sick bank sell back, no ready reserve, CDO’s(schedules sucked after they went away), actual full LMS pay, and a match of the AA wholly owned retention package. Direct contact would have to eliminate RR, for it to be even considered.

Another thing to consider, from what I have seen over a decade of reserve, is that RR actually increases schedule disruptions for line holders, because RRs are used as a last resort. If you have ever sat RR, you rarely ever get assigned anything. It also results in poor reserve utilization.

Those are fair points, but again, the overall percentage of impacted pilots is small. Ready reserve as leverage works in our favor. We need big gains to offset both that and direct contact.
