Realistic,

Keep up the great discussions! We all have different vantage points making this a healthy forum.

Communication is key if we are to keep it small as we grow.

You are not on your own. KEEP TALKING.....everyone! Go Blue!

Some suggestions....
 

1. Cost of living raises that will compensate for lost wages over the last 5 years

2. Establish annual cost of living raises for future raises

3. Increase productivity

4. Prevent JB/Crew Services from making changes to the Flight/Inflight scheduling guide without pilot/FA permission

5. Fix Flight/Inflight scheduling guides to restore items changed over the last 4 years. (definition of 13:30 rigged trip as an example)

6. Add miminum pay/hours per day for pay, not a “time away from base” criteria. Make it 5 hours per day, not 4 hours per 24hrs time away from base. This will help force productivie pairings.

7. Improve reserve workrules. (there are so many I can't liste the changes needed!)

8. Establish separate Pilot and Inflight Crew Services

9. Improve Medical and decrease cost! (how about a separate plan for the pilots and thier families from the rest of the company. Most pilots tend to be in better health and that the average employee and that should reduce cost)

10. Fix the 190 pay scale

I've got so many that I can't even stop a five. We all need to answer the survey, and maximize the negative and disatisified. This will drive down the approval numbers and hopefully wake up management and make them take notice. If most of us employee are unhappy they can't blow smoke up our a$$ any more.

Just my opinion....
