Why keep a system that benefits such a small number of pilots and essentially costs everyone else by lost income that could be made by selling it.
Or we can we look at a different way.
The few (10-15%) that benefit directly from it do make more, but upward movement is also worth something and the majority of the list is still moving at a pretty decent clip.
So.... what's the effect on staffing? Is it the 'right' time to trade it for a few bucks ($15K per pilot, per year, is the number I've heard thrown out)?
Or should we wait for one more cycle???
Or based on FOkras' post, maybe never.
