Many lineholders have conflicts because they cannot help themselves from easy straight pay or moving schedule around below 4days off which creates conflict
How is that a correction? I never said a reserve pilot cannot x/y list.
You still haven’t made a clear point.
Your original post insinuated that a reserve pilot accepting MUP was in a sense screwing over other pilots listed for x/y who could make more money from the same assignment. Whether that x lister is a reserve or lineholder, it’s still someone on a day off vs a reserve pilot being assigned a trip with bonus.
So is your contention that no reserve pilot should ever accept a MUP offer?
If not, why even bother bringing it up?
