And as I responded to T28, why would the pilot group be so adamant about wanting “the pay AND the day”?

Sent you a PM, Deena, with a link to the explanation of this stuff on the crew team site. The misinformation regarding how days in Lieu affect pay is a big issue at Air Wisconsin. Many people (myself included) blindly believed that they could “lose pay” by taking their day in lieu. As a result we have had and continue to have people working 20+ days in a month and avoiding taking days in lieu because they fear that somehow they will make less than the credit on their awarded line if they do.
