I don't disagree with anything that you put but instead of making it a pay cap make it a line construction cap. Put the limitations on the company not on us.
The company already figured that out with PBS. They control ALL parameters of it. In the peak of travel season, holidays, etc, regardless of what you request, it will do everything it can to maximize your flying. You can bid award work low, set line value to low....doesn't work.
So, us "non-stupid" types at Cal self adjust.
But I shouldn't have to do that. I should be able to request 80 hr max line value 12 months out of the year. We are NOT migrant workers. If PBS isn't enhanced with this contract...it's a resounding "NO". Regardless.
(Sorry for thread drift.)
