It just happened automatically every single time. There is no reason not to go back to that. I get the company would want to pre-post rest on LC blocks of 7+ days, or when you've got a single X day in between a block of LC days. But there is zero reason to pre-post rest when you're going into 2+ X days. The system worked just fine beforehand and there was no reason to fix it.
Sure there’s a reason. It increases reserve utilization by allowing assignments out of normal RUO. It also prevents drops and PB usage (when we could) which…. Was the whole reason the company started doing this under the disguise of “it was always meant to be this way”. They are punishing the entire pilot group for those who they believe are “misinterpreting” the intent of 23M7. So they are “interpreting” a few things how they see fit until the stalemate is settled.
