Fire away.
Why would you ever do that? It would encourage the company to furlough at least a few pilots any chance they had. They will always get the trips covered. Timbo can attest to the fact that even when undermanned far worse then any pilot hired after 91 has ever seen they will get the trips covered. Double pay is a huge incentive for the company to staff the airline properly. Give it up and we will forever be understaffed.
