So if nobody panicked about the COLA's that were consistently offered over at least the past year or two, why would they be panicking over empty lines???
Empty lines look like they're better for pilots since there's still the flexibility to pick up whatever trips they want (but without MPG protection). And since the the pilots can still fly and maintain currencies, aren't they better for the company vs COLA's that could result in requal training or a landing sim? Usually I can understand a small bit of the chicken little POV, but this time I'm completely lost.

I did a few months of empty lines in 2021 and it was absolutely awesome, especially since I would have been on reserve for some of it. I picked up a bit of premium, built my schedule with other people’s drops, and did just fine. Even if there are no open company trips there will be plenty of flying.

You realize that some of us don't care to work at all, i.e. this is a part time job that serves no purpose but to "supplement" a means to live a desired QOL....
