Actually I think that they do dislike it, if not hate it. What they truly don't like is the fact that some guys are working "part time" (or even less), but getting full-time benefits. They also don't like the "unpredictability" factor, and will dislike it even more as the years go by and retirements rocket up.

And to correct an earlier post of yours, it is very easy in some categories to drop your entire line to zero via the swapboard, no matter how thin the reserve manning.

Some guys just bid high time turns, then drop whatever they wish. They could do that in perpetuity, no matter how understaffed we are.

That said, we don't need to waste one breath on a minimum required flying concession. I would vote no on any TA that contained such a provision.
