I think you are spot on with your assessment. For the very senior, the reduction in monthly awards is irrelevant since they can pick up extra flying. For the rest of the pilot group, a reduction in awards without caps is 100% concessionary (seasonal worker model)… It Would be very hard to argue otherwise. Caps prevent this from being desirable for the company during recovery (winter 2021/2022)
