Some good stuff in there. A few, however, that I'm not sure about.

Why would you need 2 hours before departure? I don't know any airline that operates with a FDP as restrictive as that. Took us long enough to get the current report time!

Avoiding certain pilots? Chances are you'll only ever fly together once anyway.

A day's credit for RTGS study? This phase had only the tech exam. However, we should certainly get full credit for the sim. Leave credit should be brought back too to avoid over working on leave months.

Off 3 days over Christmas for Christians? Organising such a policy would be nigh on impossible and again, don't know many airlines that apply it. If non Christians didn't volunteer, would they be forced to work? Can't see that going down well with the locals. They celebrate it as much as we do...minus the booze of course. Well, allegedly! Datums would also need changing and most of the simulators would remain unused. Ain't going to happen. Considering December 25th is the most requested day off in the year, the fact that the Company chooses not to recognise it as such is disappointing.

Either way, a lot to look at, especially pay and hours.
