Also, I'm not sure what you mean by YV has cancellation pay? It's called a monthly guarantee. The guarentee covers you if trips get cancelled, but if you're trying to work past guarentee that means you need to pick up an extra trip to make up the loss. Not that I'm complaining, just setting your facts straight.
"The guarentee covers you if trips get cancelled," is exactly what I was talking about. Thanks for reaffirming my statement with your own words.
Now that we've got the unimportant petty semantic talk out of the way, I truly have no clue how YV is going to staff them with the examples given. I would plan on the worst case scenario of only upgrades being able to bid for it. Then be ecstatic if they did something that would make the entire pilot group happy; like drop the fence completely. Or it could be anything in between. We'll only know when they get here.
We've all experienced/heard of the upper management here. They will do what's best for them in the short term cost scheme without the considerations of long term opportunity cost.
