I definitely see potential for a quick deal from both sides. we will see later today how far apart we are.
Funny how the PB days thing has evolved over time. First all days covered, then pilot gets to cherry pick which day covered, then must cover starting first day, then only used as vacation.
Ironically, as stated before, just paying double time (over guarantee) like line holders would make them more valuable for a majority of pilots save a minority in the WB seats.
