Silly? I don't think so, since if I had been operating the flight home I would have had the day off restored. So it comes down to where I was sitting in the airplane on my day off.
@ Packrat:
I would much rather have had a day off instead of the 1 hour add pay for losing my day off. Cencal are you willing to give up a day off for an hour pay?
It used to be that we had a choice of whether we wanted the day off restored or pay for it.
This was all promptly confirmed to me by the SSC. They say there will be a "Next Steps" article about it soon.
And to your point of "min days off" I would say this. With 27 years I would expect to have more than the "min days off". Even when Lorenzo/Breeding were running the airline in 88 I consistently had more days off than I get now, and if I lost one- I got it back.
As I get older, getting time off with my family takes on greater importance, over $$. I wish that philosophy were shared by those who wrote these rules.
