It's not about insecurity. If you think it's that simple, then the guy with the oxygen deprived tiny brain is looking at you in the mirror. It's simply a productivity issue--getting paid for the work you do vs don't do. Perhaps a middle ground answer would be a hybrid system. Let the FOs drop the trips as they do now, but then they go to the bottom of the trip coverage list. Wouldn't that at least spread the wealth?(. . . although I am not sure the company would buy off as it does not address productivity that much).
