This could lead to some MDs to lower paying jets for some junior guys. Not to mention future hiring could be impacted. I wonder how "overstaffed" we would be if everyone just flew their awarded line?

PS: I think grouping departures together is a good idea operationally and for QOL for reserves.
Here's an example of how 24 SC bit me and why the company might want it. Everyone has pushed the group is out the door and one hour after I checked into a hotel I get a call from scheduling saying your going across the pond. How, someone diverted and the reserve guys got to pick it up after being on call for 14 hours and then fly across the pond.
I love 24 SC!!!
Thou shalt never ever leave SC early and commute home just because all of their category's jets have departed, because they might return.
