IIRC, when they had that slide up today, the Neg Comm Chairman said something to the effect of "If our current contract requires 10,000 pilots to do all the flying for this year, then under this agreement it will require 9,992 pilots for 2017, 9,992 pilots for 2018 and 10,014 pilots for 2019. The change in 2019 is due to the additional bump in vacation value. This is why we characterize this deal as staffing neutral."
Not a direct quote, but I'm darn close.

The real question is whether the group benefits, both those that take the VB/TDY, and those that stay in base. TDY in particular seems like a tool to adjust staffing between bases, almost in real time.
There is a ton here that needs to be looked at, carefully. I think we owe it to the people that want these to experiment with this, just as I think we owe it to all existing pilots to evaluate the pros and cons.
I have a hunch that this will reduce credit, and probably reduce average trip length.

I think that's partly TIC?

Besides, isn't working less for the same or more money a QOL improvement?
