Why NOT allow Res to get SS?
Once we ‘fix’ the coverage ladder, I suspect SS will be pretty rare though.

How do you propose implementing payback days for a line holder? Would they get single pay and a payback day instead of double pay?
Reserve should have access to silver slips just like they have access to all other forms of premium pay via IA, GS and QS. SS is discriminatory against reserves.
It's not a misunderstanding.
My point is SS are a REG thing. PB days are a RES thing. Both are examples of premium trips with specific advantages.
Like I said before, you want access to SS, bid a line. Want PB days, bid reserve.
