Yeah, times were different back in 2017/2018 for sure. I may have failed in my effort, but the point I was trying to make is that very little brain power should be spent complaining about pilots picking up flying during negotiations. Just as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, there will always be a plentiful supply of pilots -- driven solely by selfish greed -- who do it before, during and after negotiations. IMO, there are more important fish to fry.
