Why does anyone care what someone else does? Want to drop mil leave while not doing mil stuff? I don’t care. You do you, boo boo. Want to credit surf? Cowabunga dude!
Airline pilots always seem to hold this unhealthy obsession with someone able to get a, “better deal” than them. I don’t get it. If I fly with a person working their angle I like it. More power to you.
If anything all these inefficiencies drive staffing. More pilots = more leverage.
