I just like to be devil’s advocate. Can you tell?
Never underestimate how much pilots will scheme. With the abundance of reservists on the grid right now, it’s almost guaranteed that you can arrange your schedule in a way that you won’t be used. So you still get guarantee and you’re free to make more money elsewhere or start working on an early escape plan.
Is it unethical? Yes. But I don’t doubt there are pilots trying to work a contingency plan in these ominous times. October is shaping up to be very unpleasant.
