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.

This is some twisted logic. Everything you post above they can and have been doing for years. The only difference is now guys can fly home earlier, crack a brew, or go on a bike ride.
If they needed a pilot 9 hours after his SC they would just call and release you and only you early. Now they are releasing everyone early, even people they have no plans for.
SC being reduced 21 hours a month is not an increase in duty it is a decrease
Just like all the other Machiavellian plots that folks have been lamenting on SM - time will reveal all.
Plenty of real crap to be bummed about - but not this
