Thats kinda on them. And, when SOME pilots, doing what some pilots do, for whatever reason, tried to gain or violate the system… that’s on them. But for those that say “Well, you CAN do that… it’s NOT unethical, but, I wouldn’t and so therefore you shouldn’t either.”, … that’s just completely subjective…. and I have a hard time believing that the outliers are what has gotten us here. I think it’s more that the company got what it wanted when it needed it, more pilots hired/retained in a time of heavy competition, and now that that has wained, they don’t need it as much. I’m honestly just pretty dang happy they’re just looking at limits instead of scrapping. If the limits proposed work out, that should generally be plenty for most.
