But it would be more helpful to other pilots if you pick up pilot-posted trips vice company open time. The company trips may be at premium pay, but sometimes pilots will offer a cash incentive to pick up trips they really want to drop.
Where can you find pilot posts for thos trips?

Should show up in open time, different color than company OT.

For those of us who are happy in our base of choice, which is the vast majority, the DVR is an afterthought. For others, its contents can be life changing and require major preparations to be taken.

It's normally out right around this time of the month. It came out early a couple times lately, but usually closes around the end of the month.

Not just midwest bases.

Allow SGU to get by without paying more to attract/retain pilots?

I honestly don't know which it is... maybe both.

Not necessarily a bad thing either way if there are protections to further scope erosion. But the key question is what did the pilot group get in return for this policy change?

A very small select group of pilots (including at least 2 SAPA reps) who are close to retirement will still get to fly airliners as a hobby in retirement. That's what the pilot group gets.

How many of our pilots even know that this program exists?
