I mean I guess, but it feels like going after an ant hill with 10 sticks of dynamite. For one thing, they just gave out a TON of premium pay. Multiple pages of SS awards of full 3, 4, and 5 day trips. Does that save some GS? Maybe, but most of those GS would have been for 1 and 2 day broken rotations. Plus now you’ve got most of the WS mafia out of pickup time for the month so you’re still going to be using reserves up which is again going to drive GS’s. I feel like this amount of SS is going to cost the company much more than if they had kept with their normal mode of operation.
