Well if accuracy is what you seek, than at least acknowledge that nobody said “don’t touch my X list” in any post

What he said was “But in a lot of situations these days where they are a bit more concerned about performance metrics, not taking the MUP means it goes out to x/y for someone and paid at 200% for the whole trip while you stay home instead of an extra 1.5hrs per duty period for you.”

Basically sounds like “stay home, not worth it for MUP, let someone get premium pay”

To which 3 of us said that kind of thinking is better suited for Captains making decent cash even below guarantee vs a new hire who will need that MUP in many situations.

A first year guy who commutes to base for a hotel, sitting reserve, should and probably will jump all over a reserve trip with MUP and the savings of the crash pad hotel, and good for them if they get it. Nowhere should this guy think “yeah, I’ll pass to allow someone else to get premium pay”. That’s ridiculous
