We don’t cap premium at 150%. That’s where it starts at. While it usually goes quick I have seen premiums nobody picks up that have been bumped in pay until cancellation or a new reserve window takes over. I would like to see a start at 200%.
While I agree nk drop to zero is better than our current book they are tied to a res grid. What this means is as pilots start dropping down and or Their using res the grid can become a problem to accomplish anything. Staying untied from a res grid (who cares if their using res) and trade to zero would/should be the goal imo. I’m fairly confident I can trade away almost any trip at this place assuming industry rates.
It would have been interesting had nk/jb merged because blue has trade to zero. Personally I wouldn’t have given anything to go from trade to zero to drop to zero but it is probably better. Or put another way I would have used giving up drop to zero for a gain somewhere else and just went with trade to zero. Both are tied to a res grid so that would have been a wash.
This is what to think about with add/drop/swap open time. It’s not an issue today and we don’t ever want it to become one when to company figures out how to staff properly.
