So I’m just curious about this.
In your case, if they paid rsv gs same as line holder, wouldn’t you credit 130-140 instead of 110-120? And just not have any PB days?
Depending on intl vs domestic use of PB days. They can be quite valuable as well. I understand that.
You’re missing that the amount of work involved is changed. In many cases you can fly 2-3 GS trips on reserve and have that be your only work for the month. If multiple GS’s are going out to means that they are short on pilots in that category, so you would be working on your LC days as opposed to having those days taken out by PB days. So with PB days you work 8 days for ~115 hours and never once get used on your original LC days. If you take that away then you’re working 10+ days just on reserve alone before any GS trips are added (if you’re even legal). So yes you could theoretically credit much higher, but you’re working maybe double or more the number of days that month if they get rid of the PB day system.
