I also don't think simply/only excluding M7#2 during the footprint of M7#1 is the answer either (I actually thought that was already the case), because the senior folks will still gobble up non-stop 1 days.

IMO, we should never have a system that allows the top page pilots to sit at home collecting 120-150 hours of pay a month for doing nothing more than updating iCrew WS templates once per day. I absolutely think they should be able to take any trip they actually want to fly, but the pay penalties should be peanut-butter spread down the seniority list.

Heck, why not consider requiring the 23M7 violations go into a jar that every pilot in category gets a share of every month? The super senior are going to howl regardless of the solution...
You're going to get DZ Wentworth mad at you for that comment. I, on the other hand, agree completely.
