Default 8 and 6 it is...

Management unilaterally decided to implement an 8-on/6-off schedule for all pilots. The PAC doesn't support or agree with the decision. Base pay remains the same (no pay increase) with (as I understand it) regular hourly pay beginning at 4 a.m. on 8th day until you reach your base/domicile.

The only upside I see from the new forced schedule is that senior captains who have enjoyed big bucks volunteering for OT will no longer be relatively compensed. This may discourage them from taking on the extra work and will result in the company coming to terms with a realistic picture of the actual supply and demand. They need to hire more pilots to fly the line rather than scrambling at the last minute and paying out huge sums in OT to cover the line.
