It is simple, they like saving 200 pilots in the MD, and who knows how many in the other acft when flying is healthy. That is why they refuse to eliminate carryover. It allows them to say we are overmanned now and make do with less pilots in normal conditions. The cost to the company is only positive, the cost to us is some guys get paid 100 hours a month and some are paid 58 a month.

No doubt they can play games with the BLGs and line numbers but if you add lines you increase the need for pilots. If you increase the amount of carry over you decrease the need for pilots. If we started our bid month on tuesday most of our weeklong pairings would become carryover. Good for the senior guys who like to work 3 weeks a month bad for the junior guys.

Regardless of what you, me or "they" think the statement "C/O has no impact on RLG or BLG" is wrong.
Why is the union wasting their time try to reduce C/O if it isn't?
