A system for leave

Having lived the dire CX leave system for too many years, seen the total indifference of the 3/F and recently taken part in the AOA's leave system trial, I'm left wondering what a good leave system is. I suppose a company that honours it's commitment to the pilots' leave would be a start. Sadly though, not a starting point. I'm trying to find out what other operators use and how their guys feel. Shouldn't be too hard, eh?

But what do we need? It would be nice to know the perceived benefits of the current points system. Shame it ignores the north/south divide. Somehow it doesn't seem to work. Yet BA use points and theirs seems to work. Somehow I feel something based on seniority - I suppose I would say that - might be better, yet like bids and temp bases considers previous success.

Any ideas?
