If enough people feel that strongly about the current language of SS's it'll be changed on the next contract.
Anyone with enough seniority can credit surf. Plus the Union has a step by step guide in the EFB on how to do it
Also yes it is a leveling mechanism. You can't WS past ALV+15 but you can swapboard pickup all the way to FAA limits
With enough seniority. In order to reliably credit surf, you need to be a local and be able fly on a moment's notice. But you also have to be able to get rid of enough trips to be able to credit surf. You always make it sound like everyone can do it and that's disingenuous at best.
And, for pretty much any premium pay, we have a specific leveling mechanism that ensures fairness. The same should apply for all premium pays. ALV+15 is not a premium leveling mechanism
