Thats not what I said and I don't like what you are implying.
I specifically said I don't want credit removed for pay purposes but if the system looked at my rotations flight time I would be able to pick up more trips. I don't want credit removed. Im at 86-ish hours of credit yet I'm not flying anywhere near that in actual flight time. So, if you think having me willingly pick up another 15 or so hours of flight time is somehow destroying the industry so we can simply just have bodies on the seniority list for the sake of having more bodies on the seniority list than you and I see things rather differently regarding how business operates efficiently. Adequate staffing is critical but just having more people on the list is not cost effective and actually hurts us. Workers comp, insurance, medicare, social security etc. are all costs an employer has to take on for every employee. So while I'm all for adequate staffing don't tell me that if I want to work a little more that I can't so we can simply hire more people.
