I'm guessing reserve coverage will stay the same. If you're super senior you will get to drop a trip that takes you below 50. The rest of us will have to hope someone sees our drop request and pick up our trip. Pretty much manpower neutral. To get this we gave up transfer days <18 months (manpower positive) and end of month conflict (manpower positive). I hope our negotiating committee steps up their game, because they just cost us some pilots.
It’s not just straight drops that benefit, up until now it blocked trades as well.
