If the swa system is the same as our system, why would management be ecstatic? Anyway, I didn't say "the swa system" except to reference premium pay for picking up trips. You also inferred that I meant there had to be some minimum amount of flying done to get the premium pay...I didn't say that either.
My response was in reference to someone who was trying an angle on mitigating sick leave usage/company concern over productivity.
I am totally against out of base swaps btw to mitigate anything.
