It's just a WAG, but I'm working on combining vanilla AND chocolate on the same cone.
why when it’d be far less controversial to allow the company to lower the ALV Below the 74 hr limit, impose credit caps (let’s say sub 90 hrs), then do a massive displacement of excess pilots onto the 190, beyond the # needed for actual staffing the fleet, just to get them on a lower paying rate without even training or qualifying on the plane (similar to what DL is doing).... ready to retrain and plug into the system via a few supplemental bids as needed once things get revved up again. Anyone displaced to 190/FO without classdate a would just be happy cause the alternative would be the furlough, the company wins cause they took a huge chunk out of payroll (Lower payrates at min guarantee while not needing to pay out massive amounts of PTO/VPTO as required by the CBA) all with the ability to spool back up at short notice with many In that category pool requiring reduced requalification costs.
