I'd also like to point out that while WB doesn't get any soft pay items, it's still more desirable to do that job than NB. There are plenty of "soft" QOL advantages on the WB side. And remember, the NB soft pays are all penalties. They are designed to make it painful for the company if they make it painful for us.
If soft pay was so amazing, WBAs would be bidding down to NBA en masse

I agree. I’m convinced the company is attacking us every way possible. Preposting rest so pilots can’t adjust schedule, eliminating use of banked PB days, intentionally wrecking trip coverage ladder, reliability letters, threatening commuters that are following FOM policy, etc. This is most hostile it’s been during my time as a post bankruptcy hire.

They are using Silver Slips in the same manner as preposting rest. Once it starts to soak, no one can even swap into it, even if you want to give up a trip with a late report that could easily be covered by a reserve and you want a trip with an early report. They are cutting their nose off to spite their faces. They haven't figured out that pilots will happily wait until they start carving up trips to make them more palatable and then give out all kinds of premium to cover them as multiple pieces of the same pie.

of course but once they starting soaking I've never seen them undesignate them back as normal OT. plans change for pilots daily so even if a trip sits in OT for a while, the need to swap can always arise after one starts to soak. by then you may be stuck with something you want to get rid of. my category usually sees SS a week or more in advance of the report date. so, this aspect of a SS can be a QOL hinderance and I say that as someone who has flown several of them.
