Since an FSB is not replaced once one is used, it’s not like using an FSB on a non-global trip would cause more FSB’s that day. If scheduling wants to use an available FSB on a non-global trip, go ahead and use them. I think most people would rather fly once on FSB rather than just sit there.
most would rather not be on FSB to begin with. I can also say with absolute certainty that not one single time I’ve been on FSB….did I want to fly. Invariably, you are inheriting a complete goat-rope, to some min-rest layover.
Your posts certainly have a theme. You’re a real (management) pilots’ pilot, aren’t you?
