jk, I'm not even on the fleet, but I wonder about the timing on this one. It appears they made sure to squeeze out every eSRL and empty line they could before announcing this.
This is the exact reason I bid reserve for May. I texted / communicated to ALPA rep multiple suggestions with the goal of leveling the field and removing some of the variables and incentives to game the bidding / scheduling process. The usual subjects are still dropping trips and picking up open time under the auspices of “essential worker” while most of us isolate and/or take voluntary pay cuts. The new voluntary options coupled with constant changes are just encouraging pilots to outmaneuver each other.
