Me, I’ve used MU occasionally in the past... rebuilding my month choosing smarter trips (the 1-1s for example.) But I’m also always in premium every month and on more than a few occasions when they’ve called me for MU I’ve gotten them to change it to PM depending on how desperate they were.
Agreed. Wishful thinking that everyone would stay out and generate lots of PR and OG. And you know what, even though I think it’s stupid to work 95 hours for 95 hours of pay, it’s their right, so who am I to judge. Instead, I’ll just thank them, since it lowers the amount of days I have to work on reserve
