Whether you get used or not is irrelevant to many because SC is restrictive.
Secondly, many would rather fly on SC.
Finally, no one knows how this will affect us but I believe most guys are flying to ALV +15 anyway which was the last bogus "Boogeyman" from back.
You keep stating matter of factly that we will all sit more SC - let's just wait and see.
This is another forum tempest in a teapot. Remember all the angst over leaving the signed release at the podium? New guys probably don't even know what I am talking about just as guys next year will not want to extend their SC from 9 to 12.

I’m not wanting to be right but when viewed from the company’s perspective there is a lot of fat to be cut when using statistical data on when and how they use their reserves. I’m just pointing out the canary in the coal mine.
Frankly I’m surprised it took this long. I thought for sure this would come about after the “SC not in base” hoopla. I also think that’s the reason for the timing. Somebody did a deep dive into SC and reserve productivity after that. Now in the time of One Delta cost reductions they will be the hero that shifts reserve produtivity and reduces credit time (guarantee) paid to reserves.
It’s obscene but I have been paid 76 hours of guarantee and little or no flying regularly while bidding reserve. That hasn’t gone unnoticed. Celebrate if you like, I see change just over the horizon. Enjoy your adult beverage and the early trip home while you can. My (and all those playing the reserve game) good deal will eventually be not as good. Add that to the computer generated trip efficiency and we all become more productive or put another way, QOL is diminished.
Data drives their decisions and they will use it to find productivity and efficiency where they can within the PWA. This past summer is a perfect example. There’s a reason RCC requests are being ignored.
