As long as they are at least accounting for unused reserve days in there it gives others the ability to make much more realistic CBA to CBA comparisons with real world numbers. Something like "flew on avg 3 days/month, avg 14 days unused LC/SC days a month" or whatever the numbers are. If someone wants to break out SC go for it.


Exactly!

Also, it helps to create a rising tide to lift all boats because there are a LOT of pilots at shops with only SC that don't understand how awesome LC could be.

When it is explicitly accounted for like the rules say..... then maybe people will realize it's something worth fighting for.

Still not the same as a day completely off duty, but pretty damn nice.

Yup. just list the following three things and let people pull out what matters to them. SC days don't matter as much to me because it barely impacts my daily plan, but I can see why a commuter views it differently. I tend to care much more about how many days I actually turned a wheel.

Total Reserve days
Short Call days
Days you actually turned a wheel
