"Apples v Oranges"
The topic of picking up OT is completely different when you have pilots on the street, versus an airline who does not. Weren't all of DAL's once furloughed offered their recall (regardless if they took it or not - some still out on their
own choice of by-pass)??? Not so much at CAL.....not
one of the 147 has been offered the 'sentence of reinstatement'.
When your staff is 'all in', call OT what you want.....when you still have pilots on the street, and other active pilots see fit to pick up OT.....that's just dead wrong/black-n-white without justification.
Sorry for the drift....
