You are right about the transition conflict language except that those that don't benefit directly benefit indirectly because it's a staffing inefficiency that requires more pilots which means every one holds a better line or a better base or a captain seat when they wouldn't without the conflict language.

Red green is by far the most valuable qol rule bar none! Is not just about dropping for no money. It's about swapping for different days. Getting that one really important day off you didn't get on your line and moving the money to a different day. Also for those that do want to drop it creates another staffing inefficiency like I mentioned above which is good for everyone. Whatever sec 25 modes into in a TA, changing red green is a non starter IMO.
