Get rid of roll over miles, and give a little more value to FO.
Roll over miles are killing the FO changes for upgrades since it is easy for one to get GM now.
also instruct ga to fallow the rules of SP.

GAs and SP
1. Everyone gets on, smaller aircraft
2. Special needs folks get on
3. First class get on
4. Zone I, including First Class, get on
5. Gate lice get on first, regardless of status
GAs need adult supervision. Get it right, DL!!!

I want to retierate the last point. I have been doing a great deal of DL flying this year and as a result I am a DM. GAs need to get the boarding script right. There is too much variation. I have seen versions of:
1. Everyone gets on, smaller aircraft
2. Special needs folks get on
3. First class get on
4. Zone I, including First Class, get on
5. Gate lice get on first, regardless of status
GAs need adult supervision. Get it right, DL!!!

I was joking with a GA last week about making FO. She said "you know, it's not really worth anything, don't you". I feigned shock and said "Of course it is! Now I have a 1 in a million chance of getting an upgrade instead of none, plus I have slightly greater access to an award calendar that doesn't work".

In regards to getting rid of FO's, they don't need to do that, but if you are an FO and don't fly enough to gedt to Gold, then you should not receive all the benefits that those of us that do. Do a few MR, get a DR card etc, earn or fly your way to Gold if the benefits are that important to you.

Don't hate on Silver too much... do you want to be the guy that has to gate check his bag because he got on the plane too late? Or even worse, have to put your bag in the back of the plane when you are up front?
