That IMO was our last "hammer" that was in reality far more powerful than the old 3b6 because it was useable by roughly 20% of the pilots all of the time, instead of just once in a blue moon when we get new equipment.

I really thought if we gave that up, long call would have increased a lot. Like at least 19 hours (the old/semi-current 9 hours prior plus 10 hours rest) but it only increased to 13.

And then we gave that right back up, supposedly to pay the company for something they supposedly didn't care about in the first place (but we all know they did).
