The difference (84 minus 63) is 21 hours. That's 21 hours in that month you used to be essentially unusable.

Now, in that same month, its 21 additional hours you are available for another assignment. That's very close to an entire additional calendar day of availability (per pilot) to the company for zero cost (and zero pay.) Sorry, but I'm not interested in providing more availability for the same compensation.

This means more trip coverage via reserve assignment and therefore less trip coverage via GS.

It's a productivity gain. Plain as day. Productivity increases mean one of two things: more work with the same headcount, or the same amount of work with lower headcount.
