That is true if block hours are increased. Planes are currently flying at what 30-40% load factor? Do they really need to increase block hours or just dump the fare to fill the jet?

Yes

(Actually it's one of three pay clocks UA uses, and one is paid the greatest of the three for the month. MPG = Monthly Pay Guarantee which is basically min pay)

I understand what you are getting at now, I missed the paying with miles wording. However I do agree with it. I would assume pax paying with miles are frequent flyers, why would you want to alienate them by booting them to the back and filling first class with pilots? Bad optics in the current environment.

Tbt, the one's that really got upset with our FC DH decades ago were not the passengers.
DH out of uniform makes for a more pleasurable experience.

Be well.

Do you know what position Todd Insler held prior to MC? Do you know why he was highly regarded by the pilot group? Its a trick question...
