The point being, it's not the pay rate that is all important. It's the amount we...me...your average pilot, will take home.

BTW, I'm in favor of BOTH a payrate increase AND work rule improvements.

First of all you ought to have the balls to make your own identity mabe even use your name instead of hiding, but I digress...

I agree with you.

There is a lot of gain to be had by improving our workrules.

Minimum Daily pay is a good start 6:00 is on par with FEDEX.
A trip rig of 2.75:1 would be another way of attacking that issue.

Same pay for everybody, reserves and lineholders.
More money for everybody consistently by having anything over a monthly cap pay 150%, we would still have greenslips anyways...
