That is not the case anymore, not as many people are being granted SVB so maybe more will go after the other option although I still think it is a bad deal.
Additionally, people on the special LCR can pick up flying off the trade board (on their days off) and increase their total hours for the month. Those on the special leave (50 hrs) are not permitted to pick up any flying. Believe it or not, some guys want or need the hours so they chose that option (special LCR).

Then the official letters will arrive in the mail a couple days later. The fact remains that TSA numbers continue to suck and future bookings look absolutely dismal, so I don't expect the news to be good.
