Guys/gals who wants time off in a trough month, gets it. This lowers cost and helps with the company making a profit, which is then (finally) shared with the same pilot who got that QOL improvement. PS formula can definitely be improved, but it's in a good direction as of this LOA.

Disclaimer: Yes we all know it's going to be a struggle for profits for the next several years. I'm only showing that we did not really give up much of anything.
