Those two changes should be cost neutral and very family friendly.
Personally, I am not ok with the 70 hour guarantee for rsvs. When you are available for 18 days a month, while I as a lineholder get paid for 90 hours for 16 days a month, something is missing. This is where a "think tank" comes in handy. Put a bunch of heads together to come up with ideas, troubleshoot them, and get it done. I have sat through winters, summers in several bases on reserve. Never gotten more than 5 sc, and I got those 5 with nothing else done in the month. Funny.
