There are so many folks here who have little to no access to premium pay that I would gladly trade it in for better base rates.
As far as pay caps, I'm not too worried about the company trying to impose an official one. They already do it through crappy lines most of the year. I'm not too worried about ALPA trying to impose an hours cap either.
Even when I was relatively senior in the right seat, I rarely broke 90 hours. I just don't want to work that hard and I'm not giving up days at home. Hell, my whole goal here is to spend as much time at home as possible. (Technique only)
