The excessively short staffing that creates payback days is the problem. If people are netting 400 hours a month that means they did a lot of flying on off days. If the average pay back day is worth 5.5, then somebody had 60ish PBs they wanted to cash in. if they were as good as me they might only have 40ish. That's a lot of understaffing to create that kind of reserve usage. Instead of "what's a SIL" "what's a blue day" Color coding has returned to this screen, um OK... ya sure about that.
