They are going to fly as much of a schedule as they possibly can and they are going to need all of their pilots to execute their plans. If they can get you all to fly said schedule for 10% less, then even better for them.
bingo. Russell and Carl want your labor and time, but they only want to pay 90% of what it's worth.
