It’s definitely cheaper and we cheat ourselves by taking the free money. It’s not free. Imagine having a holiday off because they had to increase staffing due to a lack of cheap labor. But no. We’ll cry when the system bid is released. Then pick up the phone to help out.

The month of May, as a whole, had far fewer RSAs than the few months prior. As far as helping goes, look dude, the system is what it is. Sure, if no one ever does extra they will have to hire more. That goes for every airline out there. Delta has green slips, etc.
The company calculates how they want to run the airline in terms of staffing. You and I calculate how how best to do our jobs, and earn what we want to earn. Some want QOL more than money. Bully for them. Some want money more than QOL. Bully for them too. Stop worrying about things out of your control, and just do you. If you want to do an RSA or VDA, do it. If you don't, don't. Why do you make this such a big deal? You're never going to convince people to live their lives differently than they want to.
