And that is a valid 'gripe' to point out. You can't give someone a special tier and not expect something to change. They've now made my rollover nights change - and that is the only variable i've seen different since PP. No new benefits, no new points, nothing.
Bolding mine. While I'm not & will never be a PP, I do agree w/ the above, especially the bolding. If you're going to create a special status, then there needs to be additional benefits to it - and consistency. At minimum all FD personnel should be told to acknowledge it at check-in, and presumably there should be a few other perks. Otherwise, why bother?

Cheers.
