Oh, and no line holder ever has to work holidays according to your SAP cheerleaders.
With the SAP, the above is possible for the most senior to the. It's junior pilots. That's what's great about it, ANY line holder can do that, and yes, ANY and ALL line pilots can drop holidays. Because the SAP happens with no reserve grid to stop it. Sure you may get what you're saying at ExpressJet, but with PBS those types of schedules are for the senior guys while the junior ones are left with crap lines and 11 days off. And everyone else claiming they have SAP, has a reserve grid that restricts how many pilots can drop trips and move stuff around, PSA does not have that. It's unrestricted.
While I'm no cheerleader for the SAP or PSA, it annoys me when guys who don't understand how it really works start talking like it's nothing and their company has it as well. It really is the biggest QOL tool around, and NO ONE else has it.
