I’m not gonna make that now with all the cancellations. So I’m commuting up anyways now in case I’m called so I can be in place. It totally negates the whole purpose of the memo. If I’m interpreting wrong, correct me.

I agree this is a majority good deal. But it isn’t for me. I do not wish it changed as it helps more pilots out. I just don’t like it.

If however you want to keep things exactly the same you can travel to your base and sit in the airport for 6 hours. That way you won’t get screwed.
