They'd be negligent not to poll about it. Min day credits are talked about every cycle. Thankfully, SK is very familiar with section 23. I imagine they'll run various scenarios through Carmen then poll the pilot group asking if the pilot group wanted to increase the ADG considering it would mean shorter layovers, longer working days and fewer one leg day starts or finishes.
I personally, and I know I speak for a lot of people I fly with, would much rather get paid ADG and have the lowest block possible than fly a 24 hour 4 day trip.
