That’s some straight up SCAB reasoning right there.
PPU is a tool to make up for manning shortfalls during times of plenty, when hiring and the pilot supply can’t keep up with demand. It’s a win win when times are good. It was never intended as a tool for mgmt to take advantage of the selfish nature of the Richards like you to keep furloughs on the street.

To this day I can still tell you the names of every "Richard" that exhibited this behavior in my fleet at the time. Despite his reasoning he is wrong. The SSC keeps track every month of how trips are or are not covered. For every "02" out there feathering his bed, it is a data point for the company to show that more pilots are not needed in that category. This is a fact.
Funny how all the "Richards" got upset when their calendars were printed and hung on the wall in operations for all to see. Even funnier to see them become enraged to see their calendar show up on the wall again AFTER they had blocked it from public viewing. Pilots of this ilk are only marginally better than scabs and as such have found a place in the back of my yellow book on a special page all its own.
