I can think of a few ways.
- Sick if needed.
- If coverage sequence is violated, the reporting pilot should get 1h pay no credit on top of any other penalties. This benefits REG pilots too.
- Reasonable limits to amount of pilots on SC on a given day, anchored to some formula.
- Tie double 23k usage to giving a pilot a hotel and positive space for coming in the night before a rotation or SC.
- Be able to convert SC assignment to VAS if you're going to be at the airport anyway.
- Put the gym next to the pilot lounge like in JFK.
