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.
