• Pay. Do the math!
MPG reduction from 73 to 60 = 18% Pay cut
MPG reduction from 73 to 50 = 32% Pay cut
MPG reduction from 73 to 40 = 45% Pay cut
MPG reduction from 73 to 35 = 52% Pay cut
Almost inconsequential difference, but you’re not the first person peddling this as fact: you’re using reserve MPG to line MPG. I know it’s just a few hours different, but it’s a bit disingenuous. 73 to 36.5 is 50% and would be apples to apples. Going from line MPG to reserve MPG would even be a better comparison since we’re likely to have more people on reserve. Like me I guess, my MPG will go from 70 as a line holder to 36.5 on reserve. Less than 50%. That would also be disingenuous, though, so let’s just stick with like to like comparisons.
It does make it easy to identify what your spin is, though.
