I agree this is a majority good deal. But it isn’t for me. I do not wish it changed as it helps more pilots out. I just don’t like it.
You don’t understand the change at all. The company voluntarily dropped the requirement to be immediately available during the 6 hour window. They stated they would give you 12 hours notice. Nothing else changed. They could always give you a 23k assignment with 12 hours notice in that window. The only change is they can’t give you one with no notice in the 6 hour window.
If however you want to keep things exactly the same you can travel to your base and sit in the airport for 6 hours. That way you won’t get screwed.
