I hear ya. I'm just not a "work 40 hours a month" kind of guy. Yes, sometimes that's all I work, if I have vacation or burn some PTO, but otherwise that's never been me. So it's just not my fight. You part timers can fight your fight, that's fine. I simply see it as, most likely, something that benefits a fraction of the group. We don't have it here, so somehow 4,950 pilots get by just fine, and I doubt a large proportion of them will suddenly start working/crediting 40 hours a month.
I have, a few times, been denied a trade because my credit would go below 70. So of course I do support some "Drop to XX". But I have no real use for ZERO, so again that's just not my fight, especially if we have to give up something, or give up other GAINS that will be enjoyed by most/all pilots.
