One other thing, a lot of FNWA pilots liked the 80+ hours and the time and a half that was associated with that over 80 hours per month. That would cause a manning change too, with everyone going for any open time to get that extra time and a half pay. They wouldn't need any reserves, just whiteslips. It would be a free for all, and it probably was up there in priority on the survey.
It's not about necessarily flying to it but being on the hook for it. Most would see this more favorably if we had a min day or better cda;not 4:30,reserve rotation guarantee, and reserves getting same rotation pay as line holders. I could stomach this then. Really.
