Agreed. This is a very disturbing trend. This PR day issue, if true as depicted (and I don't see any reason to believe otherwise) is as black and white outrageous as if some rogue payroll supervisor decided that our pay rates were too high, and therefore we were all getting shorted $50 an hour going forward--just because.
I strongly suspect that someone real high up on the management side had some serious buyers' remore about our contract and sometime in the past few months issued a "call to arms" to find any issue, real or mostly imagined, to try and scrape back a few pennies from the pilot group. Bad, bad policy that should backfire spectacularly.

I can say for certain there have been times I WOULD NOT have picked up that extra trip if it wasn’t on a PB day (thus generating premium and more PB’s). Will have to go audit I guess.
Can’t say this kind of crap doesn’t make me just want to let ARCOS go, particularly on weekends or the middle of the night. Short sighted witch hunt just when the op is getting back up on step. Great idea.

I think it goes beyond a single rogue middle manager. Management has always had some degree of contempt for us. The difference is they used to respect the MEC, PWA, and pilot group.
Only about 4 years ago, Ed called the MEC (chaired by RS at the time) the “Most difficult MEC he has ever worked with.” They hammered out some good deals for the pilot group during the Covid era, all while fully protecting the PWA.
We’ve come a long way since then. The current MEC simply doesn’t have management’s respect. We’re seeing the consequences almost continuously.

Changing the policy going forward would be bad enough, but retroactively removing pay from pilots after unilaterally and silently changing, a what, 20-25 year past practice? Anyone know how long iCrew has used PRs?

Maybe I'm way off here but this definitely seems like grounds for a change in the status quo to me. Although it seems like it is usually a one-way street.

How frequently does the Reserve Required formula change the number of reserves required? My category went from 21 required tomorrow to 12 during today's noon PCS run. (Today is the 31st, with tomorrow beginning a new month.)
