OK, waay short, WS to a decent month: I get it, esp if res manning looks like no one is going green. But WS to 99 block hours a month is nonsense. It kills a green that occasionally does go to someone more junior. It fixes company reserve manning problems. I see it all the time. Manning is terrible. Lottsa trips in open time. In step folks jumping thru hoops drop/swap/whatever to fly to FAR at straight pay rate. That is a prime example of pilots being their own worst enemies. OFG
