To the company, ALVs are low so the company doesn't believe they're saving a lot of money with SILs. But if ALVs go up into the 80s per hour then they'd save money offering SILs. (i.e. 72-55)

Sounded like management just wanted to try it and see what happens over trying personal leaves. They thought it would be more like enhanced personal leaves because the pilots would keep benefits and not fall off payrolls.

The company was not interested engaging on having SILs with less restrictions.
