Before this contract there usually was no cost for SCC (in the rare case when you got full it would pay) yet they didn't use it so over the top. 2-3 a month normal, maybe used 1/4 of the time.

I would like to see SC capped at some historical % of departures in the window assigned and only relief is when the trigger for double 23k is met. But it pays 2 or 3 hours vs one when they are above the cap.

There have been some days in NYC where there are more pilots on Short Call than trips originating on the fleet.

Rough numbers. NYC 7ERA. November bid pack. 690 trips.
That's 23 rotations a day on average starting.

We've been running 30+ on SC most days.

We could cover every single trip in the bid pack with SCs.

28 on SC today.
