More about chasing money.
Not necessarily. When they are short and you really work it, you can easily make 2-3X pay while working, worst case, the exact same amount and usually less. While OE trip drops will still remain, any reduction in those absolutely does reduce the number of opportunities to get paid to be home, which is, of course, a QOL issue.

While I don't think it benefits us to over exaggerate the effects of the changes, the company keeps chipping away at it, and that's something we have to keep an eye on.

I know the question was directed at Tanker, and not me, but I bought beer - and sometimes food - on EVERY greenslip trip I was awarded.

I heard a bunch of posters there promised to leave the country and Delta if it passes. They are all going to Dubai and Emerates!

Good word. They're like Weekend at Bernie's
