Well yes, Johnso, do not let them fool you. It will be straight pay, just not above guarantee, they are just trying to save the PS DH.

That's what I thought.If I want to fly then I might as well YS it.
The only reason I'd do that is to avoid SC.

Thanks ACL.

I've had that type of call in the past, they (nwa) called my home number that was listed as an 'emergency contact only'. I answered, they said 'crew sched', I responded 'hello, hello, hello, anyone???', then click. Two-way contact was never established according to the tape...never had a problem.

Agreed. Recent history has shown much more erosion in the narrowbody domestic flying though. I am a relatively senior fdal captain that wants NO MORE erosion of any scope and will not trade anything for scope. However, scope losses on the lower end probably won't affect us widebody captains and that fact could sway senior pilots if contract "options" are presented to the pilot group. Again, I will support no erosion of scope to better my "senior" life! I'm afraid that others might.
