Reserve pilots could because they weren’t being used with the checker boarding drops.

So the reserve guy takes the 200% trip, pays it forward to the next group of RAPs by dropping a few days and take a little credit hit, so they can take another 200% call on their next stretch of days off.

It was 100% contractual but let’s not act like guys we’re dropping only because of the pay. Because that logic doesn’t hold up...
