Perhaps with massively increased contractual limits on SC assignments, along with a return to next day coverage as Jughead suggested.
The maximization of SC is a direct result of BS, RG and others working to squeeze every cent of value out of the PWA, particularly section 23. It’s a permanent paradigm shift. They won’t ever voluntarily return to the previous average of 2-3 SCs per month, even with a reduction in LC time.

You know what else is a huge time saver, getting to stay home because they didn't properly assign rest. Takes way less time/effort than even a day turn.
The massive amount of SC is more likely a result of 18 hour callout. I bet we would get fewer SC if we went back to 12 hour callouts, I'm down, let's make it happen. I'm guessing some on here are going to disagree.

Ya, I was being mostly facetious, though 12 hour call out didn't bother me, I get why it's liked. I'm all about decreasing SC and/or drastically increasing the pay for used or unused SC.

This is the way. They will only respond to increase costs. Much like reroute pay, if the deterrent is ineffective they have to pay. This instantly doubles the cost and adds in additional cost for used SCs. They plan better or they pay more. There's a keyhole window they could find that ends up win/win with all thier AI analytics.

Interesting data per BS on skyhub:
Due to increased SC assignments, premium flying has been shifted to reserves by (year over year): 18 pts in Nov, 12 pts in Dec, and 14 pts in Jan even with the snowmageddon IROP.
So, no matter how many SC they "waste," they are saving significantly more money in reduced premium pay.

The company has copied the breakage model from mail in rebates. Pilots have to submit the STS (rebate form) to get the pay. Some won't and others will give up after the initial denial. I'd be curiuos what the real cost is vs the potential cost if all were paid correctly.

Of course they have, and when it takes you auditing each rotation plus your monthly pay there’s bound to be tons of people who just choose not too. That’s my argument about simplifying it so that when the company inevitably plays games it makes it easier for people to catch it. Some thing that’s me giving up and taking the easy way out.
