Don’t mishear me and think I’m advocating for PB days to go away. I’m just saying it won’t end senior pilots bidding reserve if they do go away.
I haven't been following along, but if they "go away" are they saying that a reserve pilot that picks up a GS on his days off is paid double pay for the trip in addition to his guarantee?
If so, I pretty much agree with you as $$$$$ talks, if your saying that they just get straight time above guarantee and no PB days or premium, well good luck with that.
