Correct assessment with the objective of $$$ and that would be a given with an optimizer making you turn and burn min rest and the flight hours would significantly increase; therefore, the $$$ would increase without even a raise. Unless looking to expand significantly less drastic hiring would be needed which thins the herd just a bit. Less VX if that’s something you count on, etc. Plug in an 81hr guarantee and they will get their 81hrs from the turnip, but your vaca months / training months would would be a win hands down , but no sense discussing a never will happen situation. 14 days would be phenomenal with a raise - isn’t it pay more work less (not just days). Totally agree though, 30+ more days off a year would be fantastic, especially if we didn’t end up staring at the floor of the crew van on our way to rest like a few other outfits. It’s amazing what the trickle down effects could be if you drill down even further and the noose can tighten even further in other areas I won’t discuss. Everything is a guess on how this plays out right now so the dog will whipsaw the tail any which way it wants. Hopefully it doesn’t chase or bite the tail really hard or worse case lop it off.
