Those who argue the WS pickups reduce jobs are over inflating the issue. The staffing is based on summer schedules, where there is already little or no room to WS above ALV. The reality is that those who WS and PSP above ALV are providing flexibility for those who do not want to work as hard in the slower months. They have little impact in the summer months and therefore little impact on manning.
