If they are able to cover a trip without a harmed pilot that helps them 2 fold.
-it lowers the cost to cover a trip and
-it will incentivize farmers to go fly and help their staffing.

ALPA knows the value of these things and I trust they will not give either away without getting enough $ elsewhere in the contract.
We better hope they don’t just put it back to the way it was pre COVID - no batch sizes and no auto accept. Guys phones were ringing off the hook back then and that was before they staffed this place completely dependent on premium flying.
