Anything that’s left over will go QS at the <8 hour point, but the money saved by WS/YSing pilots will be a net cost savings for the company, even considering 3x pay. The company wouldn’t agree to anything that didn’t cut costs.

We all suspect there are already deals happening between pilots and CS. I’ve personally seen the GS progression stop and suddenly be awarded as a WS/YS.

As a commuter, this is going to mean less opportunity to pick up green, IMO. Living in base is going to get A LOT more lucrative for pilots that want to fly/make more.
