Possibly green slip, but higher probability for reroute. I hope it's not you rerouted from a choice trip into a commuters crappy one. But overall, why in the world would we ever try and deny or take an option away from any of our fellow coworkers? Just because you don't use it today, doesn't mean you won't in the future.
I'm not sure what you mean overlooking is a threat to non- reving?
I don't know that I've heard of an active campaign. It made sense for positive space commuting during the pandemic but I'm glad that the policy has sunset along with many of the other pandemic policies.
Maybe the way to fix the reroute issue is to actually improve our reroute language or improve our reserve staffing to accommodate that.
I would never suggest denying someone the ability to get to work. Just as I'd never suggest denying a ramp worker with 1 day seniority to me getting the last seat to New York because I didn't plan my commute appropriately.
Let's be honest. Most people didn't have an issue getting to work prior to the PSC loa. Those that did were usually the ones cutting it too close.
Positive space communing makes it harder to non-rev. That's been my experience and logic supports that.
I dont support positive space commuting for that reason. It erodes my seniority.
