Our system functions exactly like SW system only better. Why would we want to downgrade. They can pick up time to FAR maximums at straight pay. The same as our WS except we have a cap that limits how much you can pick up and saves jobs. If SW runs out of volunteers at straight rates they pay 1.5 times pay for pickups. At Delta when we run out of WS's we get paid double pay for picked up flying. Really stupid to reduce that to time and half or eliminate the cap for WS's. Our system is superior in every aspect as far as overtime.
