Exactly, they were banking on a lot more people taking it. But let's be real, 20 hours is a slap in the face when other regionals are offering 50 hours of credit to their pilots while on full leave for the month. Yes, I get that they are trying to save money, but at the same time, the pilot group is trying to not take a drastic pay reduction. So 75 hours for a RSV line makes more financial sense for most people. If they had offered 50 hours of credit for an SRL or full leave most people would have jumped on that in a heart beat.

Exactly. The only reason I took SRL next month is because I wanted to try to help commuters and the company. Now that I see how they really are, I’m just going to bid reserve next month and get my 75 since I will either get furloughed or they’ll be asking for concessions in October. That email was more of a slap in the face. Total BS.
I'm curious to see their next course of action when nobody switches their RSV line for May to an SRL line. I mean why would anyone choose to go from 75 hours of credit with 12 days off to 20 hours of credit with 15 days off? Let's just look at those numbers and use basic logic. You would lose close to 73% of your monthly pay for an extra 3 days off. You're kidding me right? I'll "work" the extra 3 days and make 73% more pay and probably not get called in since there is no flying going on. The company had the chance here to make a statement and stand behind their crews and just offer what is currently offered elsewhere in the industry, but they unfortunately blew it, twice now with today's email begging for pilots to switch from RSV to an SRL line.

I think your numbers are off a bit...
The 20 hours gets you the whole month off. The 45 hours gets you about 15-20 days off.
But still dumb to take considering all the RSV slots and chances of not working the whole month for 75h is very high.
