Mind you, I don't doubt we have to hire more pilots, I just don't think that paints the full picture of the staffing problem.
Much of the coverage problem is CS staffing, not pilot staffing. We have min run the number and training of schedulers. Trips sit in open time for hours while pilots waste time on hold trying to reach a scheduler.

A 23M7 counter reduces the incentive to clear and fish for unlimited trips. Set a 23M7 preference just like a GS preference if you don't want the 1 day payout
