I'll take a cut in the published hourly pay rates to get that.
Say you make $100/hr as a Co-pilot or $200/hr as a Captain. You get a typical 2 day NB trip with 18 hours of duty and 10.5 hours of flight time. You'd make the same amount of money if you were paid by the duty hour and took a near 50% cut in pay. So, I'll proudly sign off on pay by the duty hour and no more than a 15% cut in hourly rate.
I know you are joking but you are actually on to something. The only problem is that your rate decrease is far too large. Think what would happen to a turn with 7 hours of block and a 1 hour turn time. Even adding in a 1 hour pre-flight and a 1/2 hour post-flight you would have 9 1/2 hours of duty.
