No...this is a false narrative.
There will always be a flow of easy, broken trips for those with the desire and means to drop their schedule. This benefits RSVs (less assignment/less efficient RSV utilization), low seniority pilots (who get the pick ups of the drops of the 'credit surfers'), and the high relative seniority pilots who get the high credit/low block broken trips that are never available on PBS, regardless of seniority.
What the company wants is to be able to meter these broken trips straight to RSV assignments for free (no m7) that they view as no cost (ie against RSV guarantee...another false narrative, but I'll save that analysis for another day), forcing lineholders to fly their PBS schedules (less 'churn').
This is the big scheduling issue that we need to make sure we don't give away.
