ACL,
George did a nice job in listing some "wants." I'd like to add as a senior lineholder and commuter that reroutes are normally a bad thing; more legs and release times that block you from commuting home.
If I'm going to work for "The Man" and have to stay an extra night; it should be paid as such and a hotel purchased for me.
Also, more DC contributions. I haven't met anyone yet that said they have too much in their retirement account.
What do you anticipate the COMPANY asking for during negotiations? That's the key. If it causes less positions or movement, I don't think anyone is for that.

- Sitting in a hotel, in the back of a plane or short-call is for the company, thus should fall under the 6 hrs/day minimum
- Sign-in after 22:30 reduces to 3:00 min for that day as does a release before 10:30 on the last day.
- Reroute, recovery and all other non-scheduled flying beyond the footprint of the original rotation is payed at double time.
- All non-assigned or traded flying lives in one pot and goes in and out with transparency and in seniority order.
- Bring back the bow-wave.
- Delta pilots perform at a minimum the same share of JV-flying as the JV-revenue/profit share for Delta. Reviewed annually, 3 month cure. Financial penalties for non-compliance.
- MBH to DBH needs to be brought up to 1.92 or greater to really capture the 25% reduction of DCI.
Cheers
