It has nothing to do with it. 9 hour SCs , calling and getting released in 7 hours, is a good thing, but its not cool to be positive around here.
Every supposed bad thing about 9 hour SCs is just "what if" speculation that is totally meaningless because scheduling can always release guys early and routinely did when they needed somebody.
Being on SC for 3 hours less every period is a guaranteed fact for every Pilot that sits SC. All the nonsense about making us more productive is just that - nonsense.
Like I said we enough real "turds" to deal with in our PWA, there is absolutely no need to spin good stuff into more turds.
