Lots of talk on here about improving QOL. Incentivizing more hard time flying is going the other way…and slows career advancement.
This!

Overall costs for the company to cover flying might actually increase or they could decrease it would depend on how much open time the company plans to cover with reserves vs how much they plan to cover with green slips.
If we went to something like that, we'd need to change the manning formula. If we suddenly have a bunch of people WSing like crazy, we'd ness less pilots in category. Stagnating in your current seat for who knows how long is a big unknown cost. We then look back to Leines post above.
