I’ve got a 1 day, swap for a 4 day. That will nominally add 15:45. Find trips with 30 hour layover and high credit and just keep working. Crappy way to live…I’d much rather barely squeak in the window and try to get 1 multi-day Gs/QS.

I would really like this loophole closed as well. Swap with pot should also be limited to ALV+15 IMO.

Further restricting our scheduling flexibility is… certainly a take.

In this case, it's a great take. There are already plenty of things we do to restrict ourselves, this isn't any different.

Sadly, we have people who would sell that in a heartbeat if they could.

Why are you against restoring the value of PB days?

Many pilots use the word credit to summarize how many hours of pay you made in a month ie "how much did you credit this month?"

I think you're confusing that with the credit/pay no credit iCrew/PWA jargon
