With this, you’d have pilots in place when IROPS occur, thus increasing reliability, while reducing (overall) cost metrics.
But alas, I’m just a pilot. Not management. What would I know?

How detailed was your argument? I believe you said you were in management in a former life in another industry. You already know that in the corporate world you have to present a comprehensive Feasibility Report complete with data to analyticaly make your case. If you have the PowerPoint feel free to post the link. Thanks.
