I remember when the company proposed the ability to "waive minimum credit" Everyone was all excited about the prospect, but TC was very vocal about if the top of the list got less hours, that meant the rest of the pilot group would need to pick up those hours. After years of being in the top 20-40% and getting awarded 90+ hour lines with a minimum line value of 88 hours, it seems TC was absolutely correct in his assessment.

History has shown that SW likes to run lean. I thought the proposal was okay, but would've been a no for me just because I saw enough proposals that were supposed to be a win for the pilot group, but the company interpretation and implementation was 180 degree turn from what the pilot group thought they were getting (long call as an example)

Of course, this was back in the day when the company didn't try to get out of displacement pay when closing bases. With SGU driving a Mack truck through the PPM on a regular basis, it would be wise to not provide a fuel station for that truck.
