I agree on global but all the reserves in the world can’t do what FSB does. I hate getting reassigned mid trip. I bid specific trips for a reason. I don’t want my 5am finish on day 4 ruined because we didn’t have a FSB. Getting 2 pilots with a spare plane to rescue a mechanical at an outstation or to get a flight moving in 45 minutes after the original crew times out is good for everyone. Global could be fixed with just having more reserves, FSB serves a different function. It should, however, be voluntary and lucrative.

If you are a Captain it’s the same pay rate regardless of equipment. We all know that pilots on the narrow body fleets work harder than pilots on the wide body fleets. One Captain and one fo pay rate table regardless of fleet.
The Captain bids will workout then. Obviously the current system does not work.
